Application (Vesktop) can't send notification so it freezes

[eric-delarosa]

Basically, my symptoms are that Vesktop freezes for a minute or so whenever I’d otherwise get a notification. Turns out Vesktop wants to send a desktop notification any time you get pinged/dmed. If org.freedesktop.Notifications isn’t running, it hangs for like 1 minute before timing out due to this error. This is probably more of vesktop issue, but I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone knows a solution to this issue?

As far as i know dbus will automatically start the registered notification manager if it is not already running when you use the interface. You could also try to run dunst manually before so its already ready?

More info on the environment is required in any case (eg systemd)
