Notification error: (dbus-error "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" "The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files") #83

I run ement on a server where I ssh into. On that server, there's no notification daemon installed so whenever ement wants to send a notification via dbus, I get the error from the subject.

I guess it would be better if ement checks for availability of the dbus notification service before sending and producing a distracting error message. A function for doing so would be:

(defun th/dbus-notifications-available-p ()
  (and (featurep 'dbusbind)
       (require 'dbus nil :no-error)
       (dbus-ignore-errors (dbus-get-unique-name :session))
       (dbus-ping :session "org.freedesktop.Notifications")))
