Recently installed the latest kernel and updated my amd64 system, thought I'd better get up to date before tackling the openrc migration. Did emerge --update --deep system and world, then revdep-rebuild and finally a --depclean. Went well, no complications, the depclean upset python but this easily fixed with eselect.
Only problem is keyboard volume controls no longer work an there is no onscreen display. "Prefs->Keyboard Shortcuts" brings up a warning box "Unable to start the 'gnome-settings-daemon'...". Running gnome-keyboard-properties brings up the same warning.
Going back to previous kernel doesn't restore volume control operation.
As a user running "/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon" in a terminal reports
(gnome-settings-daemon:21123): libnotify-WARNING **: you must call notify_init() before showing
**
libnotify:ERROR:notification.c:529:notify_notification_show: code should not be reached
However running same command as root restores volume control and oncreen display but the warning box still appears when gnome-keyboard-properties is run from prefs or a terminal.
Can't find an answer in any of the old threads, any suggestions? |

How long ago was the previous update ?
That message might mean you haven't done revdep-rebuild noted in libnotify upgrade.
Unless it's something dbus related. |

I do upgrades about once a month, always deep and always followed by a revdep-rebuild. Also comb through /var/log/portage (or at least the summary) to do the tidy ups. Did do
revdep-rebuild --library '/usr/lib64/libnotify.so.1'
Is that the one?

I did and got "Emerging (1 of 1) virtual/notification-daemon-0" but no change.
I'll keep investigating but suggestions always welcome. |

Thanks for the response but that's what I have.
emerge -info gnome-settings-daemon :
gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1 was built with the following:
USE="libnotify (multilib) policykit -debug -pulseaudio -smartcard"
emerge --info libnotify
x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2 was built with the following:
USE="(multilib) -doc (-introspection) (-test)" |

I said 2.32.1-r1, not 2.32.1 |

Sorry missed that but
gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1-r1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
I'll unmask it and report. |

Unmasking :
gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1-r1
has fully fixed the problem, no warning box and keyboard volume controls now work.
Thank you. |
