telephant doesn't run on unprivileged user #44

Closed bionade24 closed 5 years ago

panic: operation not permitted

goroutine 1 [running, locked to thread]:
main.init.2()
        /home/oskar/.cache/pikaur/build/telephant-git/src/gopath/src/github.com/muesli/telephant/notifications.go:15 +0x68

With run it as root, everything works. I used the AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/telephant-git/

I don't think this has anything to do with privileges. Apparently it fails to initialize the notification system and the panic is voluntary. I've changed it to simply print out an error on console for now in 5532064.
