volumeicon - mixer doesn't open

Post#1 by Ahau » 12 Aug 2013, 14:43

OK, I know I read a bug report on the forum a few days ago about volumeicon not opening up Alsamixer when you right click and select 'Open Mixer'. I can't find that report for some reason this morning, but can confirm the issue. The xfce team renamed "terminal" to "xfce4-terminal"; I still have a symlink to "Terminal" but not "terminal". The fix is to open the preferences for volumeicon and specify 'xfce4-terminal'. I'm going to give things a few more days to collect bug reports and make fixes, and I'll include this in an update module.

Cheers!

No, but you're close :) Both mention alsamixer, but that one was in KDE, and this issue only affects Xfce. still can't seem to track that one down, but at least I've fixed it LOL
