Notifications not working at all! [SOLVED]

I had a feeling that notifications were not working properly in both my machines (a desktop and a laptop) for quite some time, but I never took the time or effort to really test it. Now I wanted to test a software that is all about notifications (https://launchpad.net/pydojo) but I get this error:
glib.GError: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files
I decided to investigate and tried this simple script (that depends on the 'python-notify' package), which gave me the same error:
import pynotify
def callback_function(notification=None, action=None, data=None):
print "It worked!"
pynotify.init( "Some Application or Title" )
n = pynotify.Notification("Title", "body", "dialog-warning")
n.set_urgency(pynotify.URGENCY_NORMAL)
n.set_timeout(pynotify.EXPIRES_NEVER)
n.add_action("clicked", "Button text", callback_function, None)
n.show()
$ python notify.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "notify.py", line 11, in <module>
n.show()
glib.GError: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files
I tried reinstalling glib and hal, with no success. Is anyone having this same problem?
I don't know if that is anything to do with this other issue, but I also can't shutdown or reboot through Gnome:
$ gnome-power-cmd.sh shutdown
Shutting down
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Shutdown" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.PowerManagement" doesn't exist
Failed
$ gnome-power-cmd.sh reboot
Rebooting
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Reboot" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.PowerManagement" doesn't exist
Failed
EDIT:
Sorry for that, I only had to install notification-daemon to make this work. In my defense, I must say there are not many places talking about this. I found it here:

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?

My ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP, my ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP

My iPod touch is not working at all,i did everything i could and still it doesnt work,i live in the philippines my idea of solving this problem is to send it back at Apple California we do have service centre here but i dont trust them,i dont know what to do,I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

Quite possibly. It wouldn't hurt to try another one if at all possible. If you have to, borrow one from a friend. It could also be due to debris in the docking port of your iPod. Take a look on the inside of the port and make sure there is no lint or anything like that. Also look for broken pins as they would definitely cause connection issues as well.

Microphones not working at all.

hi, im having some issues regarding the built in microphone as well as external mics not working at all.
The computer seems to register the mics there, but they just dont seem to work .
ive tried troubleshooting and following all the guidelines on this site on how to fix it and nothing seems to work.
the internal mic will work one day and then the next day ill try to use it and itll be back to not working. with me not changing any of the settings. any help would be greatly appreciated. I heard back from somebody in a post about this about a month ago, gave my specs as requested and didnt hear anything else after that. Hoping this one gets a little more attention.
the computer is operating on windows 8.1
the product number is B5Y66AV
Thank you!

Hi @brun67,
Thank you for your reply.
I regert that the micsrophone works sometimes but not always.
I did not mean to imply that your notebook was incompatible with Windows 8 only that it was a possiblity to check and that HP does not support Windows 8 on your notebbook.
You could try rolling back the driver to see it there is any improvement or try updating the driver.
As HP does not support this OS the HP Support Assistant will not help. You will need to manually check for any updated drivers from the manufacturer of the card.
Downloading Software and Drivers
To rule out hardware as being a possibility here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8). Under the component test audio is an option.
Good Luck!

Flash player 11.0.1.152 not working on all sites. Using Mac OS 10.5.8

What am I missing? Flash didn't work properly on previous version either. I use google chrome primarily but flash does not work on all sites using Firefox or Safari either. I have a Macbook Pro operating on 10.5.8. I'm sure it's probably a simple fix but I just haven't found it. Appreciate any help on the matter.

I have spent countless hours trying to get my flash player working and have tried EVERY kind of possible answer through many forums and websites to solve this. Does adobe have anything currently that will solve this flash player problem?? I have the lastest version of Safari 5.1.1. and I have the lastest version of adobe flash player 11.0.1.152, I have even tried the debugging installs adobe put out for flash player. I have tried the "working around lion flash player video thing" where you try private browsing. I have tried going into system preferences and entering into the flash player settings in the storage tab the allow this sites, etc. NOTHING HAS WORKED!! I still get my local storage pop up message whenever I try and watch a you tube or any site that has flash video on it, that flash player settings box still pops up and is stuck on my screen and I cant click allow or deny or get it off. So many people I have read have the same problem and I only the same answers pop up that I have tried again and again, does anyone have a real resolve to this yet??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

IPhone 4s screen is completely black and does not work at all; has not been dropped. Any help?

I opened up youTube using a shortcut from the Cocoppa app last night, and the screen froze, my home button would not work, so I locked it. The phone was charging at the time and nowhere near dead. After I did so, I pressed the lock and the home button [ not at the same time ] and the screen would not light up at all, it remained completely black. So, I unplugged it and plugged it back into the charger and it made the little sound it does when you do so, that told me it was not dead, and had not turned off. I held the lock button down to turn it off and swiped where the "slide to shut down" bar would normally be if my screen actually worked. It did nothing. My phone screen does not work at all now, even though it makes sounds such as Siri's little pinging noise when you hold down the home button. I am thoroughly confused and urgently need help to solve this problem.

Hp pavilion dv6 6165tx sound not working at all???

i have strange problem with my dv6 6165tx.that its sound is not working at all.sound is showing in speaker setting & equilizers but not coming in speakers & headphones also..pls help me..........

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

Iphone5 push notifications not working

iphone5 push notifications not working. But All ok with my iphone4s. All settings are same. Any idea what is wrong?

HI,
Have 10.10.3 imac version- email system does not work at all it display emails up to the installation of the new version, no incoming or outgoing emails

That helped thanks-
I was able to solve this by deleting all "Envelop Index*"- and "ExternalUpdates*"-files in ~/Library/Mail/v2/MailData. After that I restarted Mail and let it reindex all mailboxes.

Exchange push notifications not working on iphone5

My work email is exchange, and it doesn't push on my new iPhone 5. I have all of the settings right for pushing. If I go to my mail, it says 'Checking Mail' and then new message show up. Any help with push notifications not working on the 5? Thank you.

This is an issue that a lot of people are having... it's all on this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345374?start=0&tstart=0
The 'fix' that is decribed in the first post does not work. The only workaround is if you are on Wi-Fi, turn off Cellular Data and then reset the push service by turning on Airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it back off. Seems to be an issue with the iOS talking to the new LTE CDMA chip on Verizon and Sprint iPhone 5s.
