Hyprshot [ BUG ]: The name is not activatable

When I try and screenshot anything, it throws a GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable error, and exits with code 1.

You're probably missing a dependency. Double check you've got everything in the README installed

@SniverDaBest I had this exact same issue this week. I had just installed Arch linux recently and had Gnome desktop environment initially. But then switched to Hyprland and evidently hadn't had notification daemon installed / setup yet.

Try installing swaync - I believe this should solve the problem for you.
If step 1 does not solve it, then try installing: notification-daemon and libnotify ... this should do it.

Make sure to restart after installing just in case.

After installing mako, notification-daemon, and libnotify (and libnotify-devel) it doesn't even throw an error, but exits with error code 2.

Did you try swaync?

It didn't appear to be in the fedora repos... I don't really know why it wouldnt be there, it just isn't.

Fixed the issue. Just had to reinstall Hyprland.
