Notify-send won't show notification unless run with sudo

Question

I have just tried to use notify-send on my 13.10 machine and can't get it to work without using sudo with it.

I don't know what details can I provide with this issue.

My notify-osd version :

$ ii  notify-osd      0.9.35+13.10.20130917.1-0ubuntu1-leolik~ppa0  amd64        daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications

On regular version for 13.10 there was the same issue.

EDIT

$ ll /usr/bin/notify-send
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14720 wrz 10 16:12 /usr/bin/notify-send

go to /usr/bin and check for the permission on executable of notify-send — Null pointer, Feb 25 '14 at 15:29

Maybe try to reinstall it with:
sudo apt-get purge notify-osd && sudo apt-get install notify-osd

Sorry but it didn't help. – Patryk Feb 25 '14 at 15:32
So maybe as @Null pointer said - try sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/notify-send – kubahaha Feb 25 '14 at 15:36
I have the permissions set the way you described: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15K wrz 10 2013 /usr/bin/notify-send – Patryk Mar 15 '14 at 17:51
