Description Alex Băluț 2013-12-01 08:43:24 UTC 
It should show maybe a Close button but it shows Pause/Cancel and this stacktrace in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 232861

  • File "pitivi/render.py", line 977 in _busMessageCb 
    self.notification.show()
gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

Oh... that's unexpected. How can freedesktop notifications not work? So in your case has_libnotify = True (the import works) but it still fails to use it?

It's really weird that it manages to get through                 

Notify.init("pitivi")
self.notification = Notify.Notification.new(blah blah blah)

but not
self.notification.show()

Alex, what would you suggest we do in this case? Add a nasty try-catch around the whole thing and log an error if it fails?

This happens when the notification-daemon process dies, for example. In this case a RuntimeError is thrown, but we should not be bothered by it.
Wrote a fix, will make a pull request.
