Bug#986405: dunst: After system boot, dunst.service is resolved to failed state until first notification is issued
manuel
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have experienced the following minor problem for a long time:
Every time after booting up my system (Debian Testing with i3 as desktop)
dunst.service is resolved to failed state:
$ systemctl --user status dunst.service
● dunst.service - Dunst notification daemon

Upon issuing a notification (the notification is shown in the desktop correctly)
dunst.service is again resolved active:
$ notify-send "foobar"
$ systemctl --user status dunst.service

I expected the service to be active after boot.
My dunst.service:
$ systemctl --user cat dunst.service

[Unit]
Description=Dunst notification daemon
Documentation=man:dunst(1)
PartOf=graphical-session.target
[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.Notifications
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dunst
For completeness, this bug was reported upstream (by myself):
https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst/issues/314#issuecomment-601228703
I file it here as the problem has not been solved and is pointed to be elsewhere.
Quote Github user smcv:
> [...] The service was enabled system-wide by the Debian packaging,
> because at the time it was installed, it had WantedBy=default.target
> (which I think is a bug - it shouldn't be started before the GUI,
> and in any case shouldn't be started for users of other Notifications
> implementations, like GNOME Shell) [...]

is still an issue. However, in my case, a coredump is also generated
when it fails due to a SIGTRAP.
