Hello,
I wanted to try notifications.el, but I get this error:
D-Bus error: "No connection to bus", :session
when loading it with "(require 'notifications)".
I use emacs-trunk from bzr. Bug or wrong system setup?
TIA for any hint!

I suspect wrong system setup. Do you have a running D-Bus session bus?
You could check for the environment variable $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.

Best regards, Michael.

I don't know. Probably not.

There is no such variable.
After
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
eval `dbus-launch`
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
it works.
Shouldn't notifications.el start the dbus itself, if needed?
Or shouldn't it mention in the commentary, that dbus must be running?
(The program "notify-send" works without such problems...)
Thanks for your help!

Definitely not. There are several use cases where it isn't desired to
start the D-Bus session automatically. And in dbusbind.c, we have added
code that it doesn't happen.

That might be reasonable, indeed.
