Could you paste the log of swaync when starting with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all?

Not the client, swaync. The swaync executable is the main application while the swaync-client is only used to talk to the application

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all swaync

Have you started swaync?

Seems like you forgot to start swaync. Closing

[VehementHam]

What do you mean? I told you the steps I took. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

What do you mean? I told you the steps I took. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

The error is caused by the swaync executable not being started. You need to start swaync first before you can run swaync-client

That is what I did. I ran swaync in one terminal, and then I ran swaync-client in another terminal. I can show you a screenshot:

[ErikReider]

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding. Haven't really encountered this issue before... Is DBUS correctly setup?

[VehementHam]

I think so.

$ rc-service dbus status
 * status: started

$ echo "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS\t $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID"
unix:path=/tmp/dbus-GSWLykM5Gc,guid=a99f9c65b9ddcd7860b4ac106625d3d3	26047

Not sure what exactly constitutes "correctly," but the service is running and $(dbus-launch) is automatically exported at the start of every shell session.

[VehementHam]

The file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.erikreider.swaync.service exists.

[VehementHam]

Look at src/client.vala. It seems to have some code relivent to checking for the service.

[ErikReider]

This is the first time this issue has come up, so my guess would be that it's something up with your dbus... Can you check if the swaync service is alive with qdbusviewer-qt5?

[VehementHam]

It doesn't appear to be.

[donovanglover]

Also occurs with NixOS Unstable + Hyprland + Home Manager

[donovanglover]

Seems to be fixed if I don't use the mpris widget with swaync

[ErikReider]

It doesn't appear to be.

My session bus section is full of services while yours is empty. So my guess would be that your DBus isn't setup correctly? I'm on Fedora so never had to mess with setting up DBus before, so I'd be of no help here
