i had this annoying problem for weeks. i did however, after much searching, find a fix--
/usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/pidgin starting pidgin in that way will all libnotify-plugin to work as expected. the error when trying to enable libnotify while running from terminal is: libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to execute dbus- launch to autolaunch D-Bus session not sure what the issue is but i just replace /usr/bin/pidgin with a script, and renamed pidgin to pidgin.real hope this helps. -- pidgin-libnotify don't work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
