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.

Solution: Upgrade. Need at least gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1-r1 for libnotify-0.7.

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.
