Recently a couple of things on my laptop stopped working; brightness and volume controls freeze/delay and only respond after a minute and the usual notification I get doesn’t activate. Flameshot, the screenshot program I use, freezes as well and won’t copypaste. I think this has to do with my notification service because when checking the logs, I get errors that mention a timeout, but I’m not sure what is causing it. I did not have this issue around a week ago (not sure what started it).
Checking journalctl -g notif yields messages like this:
session uid=1000 pid=1095] Activated service ‘org.freedesktop.Notifications’ failed: Process org.freedesktop.Notifications exited with status 1
session uid=1000 pid=1095] Activating service name=‘org.freedesktop.Notifications’ requested by ‘:1.4’ (uid=1000 pid=1114 comm="xfce4-power-manager “)

session uid=1000 pid=1095] Activating service name=‘org.freedesktop.Notifications’ requested by ‘:1.79’ (uid=1000 pid=9416 comm=”/usr/bin/flameshot ")
The only notification service is have is:
>find /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ -name '*Notif*'
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service
If someone could work this through with me I’d greatly appreciate it.
