Hi.
Recently I added:
(add-hook 'gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook 'gnus-notifications)
to my configuration to get nice pop ups when new email arrives. It works
very well when I start Emacs at home.
If I ssh -X into my machine at home and start Emacs, however, then I
have a problem - when I try to get email/news, I get this error
flashing:
apply: D-Bus error: "No connection to bus", :session
and email/news isn't fetched.
Would it be possible for gnus-notifications to either only warn or do
nothing, if the notification mechanism doesn't exist/work.
Or maybe I just need some extra magic to get DBus working when ssh -X'ing?
Best regards,
Adam

D-bus and "ssh -X"/"ssh -Y" have bugs filed against it.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32509
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12112
For my part, the most annoying thing have been that emacs started with X
keeps the ssh session hanging when I log out.
Hm... the bottom URL above lists a workaround, setting
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to something bogus, before starting emacs.
That would perhaps work for my issue (something to try), but not yours,
since you want D-bus to actually work...?

Does it help, if you call your remote emacs like
env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="autolaunch:scope=install-path" emacs ...

Yes, it makes the problem go away (I don't get any notifications, but
that isn't important, to me).
I do get this warning when I start emacs like that:
** (emacs:6132): WARNING **: Unknown or unsupported transport
`autolaunch' for address `autolaunch:scope=install-path'
Thanks!
Adam

Well, the scope is a rather new feature in D-Bus, IIRC. So it might be
sufficient for you to apply
env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="autolaunch:" emacs ...

Best regards, Michael.

That made the warning go away and the notifications pop up on the
desktop - great!
Now, if only I could get emacsclient (without -nw) to work remotely...
:-),
