Having issue running Mako. #482

Hello, I hope your days are going well. But, sadly, I am having some problem running Mako. I did read the section talking about running Mako. As don't know much about it.

I don't have any other Notification manager or daemon running in the background. Mako should have ran automatically. But it didn't, after trying to run it in the terminal, I get this error message:

Failed to acquire service name: File exists
Is a notification daemon already running?

But why it's the case, I don't have any notification daemon running in the background. After that I tried to add exec mako in my sway config. That also didn't work. I didn't try to run the dbus command as I don't use elogind instead I use seatd. What's happening?

Thanks to the mako team to for creating such an app!

Sorry, the actual problem was very silly. When I ran Mako for the first time in Alacritty. I then closed the terminal it self. I thought Mako has stopped running. But looking at Htop it turns out that Mako was still running. Therefore, I got the error.
