ERROR: Failed to show notification: g-io-error-quark: Timeout was reached (24)

[mt190502]

Hi there. I'm using mpdris2 on fedora swaywm with home manager. I configured the module with these args: https://github.com/mt190502/dotfiles.nix/blob/unstable/hosts/fedora/mpd/default.nix#L16-L23 But when i open the notification support, mpdris2 freezes and gives this log:

Edit: I'm using swaync for notifications.

Edit2: This error does not occur every time. Sometimes i get the notification successfully.

[mt190502]

When I tried the module right after restarting my computer, I didn't have any problems. But I happened to get a notification from kdeconnect, and after receiving the notification I saw that the mpdris2 module was getting a timeout error again. Then, I closed kdeconnect completely and the mpdris2 module worked fine again. If I open kdeconnect and disable Multimedia control receiver, the mpdris2 module works fine. Kdeconnect seems to conflict with mpdris2 in some cases.

Additional note: This issue does not occur in other media processes (e.g firefox, amberol, vlc etc.)

Do notifications work with other clients (e.g. notify-send)? Does busctl --user status org.freedesktop.Notifications report the same process?

Once this problem occurs, the notification system does not work

This is more likely to be an issue of your notification daemon, as non of notify-send (C), mpDris2 (python-dbus) and mpdris2-rs (zbus, rust) is working. Maybe do some verbose logging on swaync?
