[Solved] Turning off notification when changing volume

martix · 2017-09-14 10:28:10

I'm wondering: Is there maybe a way to turn off notification when I change the volume?

I use Volti and everything works fine, I just would like to turn off that pop-up bubble for this specific case. Btw I changed icon theme to Papirus and window theme to Onyx and e.g. there is no volume bar in the pop up bubble anymore, but it does not bother me much.

Hmmm, interesting: On the same configuration after waking up from "suspend", the grey battery icon changed to a yellow one. After a short while - doing nothing specific - it changed back to the grey one again.

BL-H² now uses volumeicon instead, that has an option to disable the OSD in the righ-click Preferences menu.

Not sure about Volti though.

For BL-He, volumeicon doesn't produce notifications at all anymore so we're changing (back) to pnmixer...

^Thank you for the hint.

Do I understand correctly: Simply removing Volti and installing Volumeicon should solve the issue (and it'd work basically like before)? I'm not sure if it's relevant but under volti/preferences there is also pavucontrol.

You could also use the backport of PNMixer provided by hhh for BL-Hydrogen, or PNMixer is now available in the Debian Stable repo if you're using BL-Helium-Dev.

Well, you would have to edit ~/.config/openbox/autostart and change "volti" to "volumeicon-alsa" and then right-click on the systray icon and use the configuration menu to disable the notifications.

Although we have updated the skel configuration files, APT will not touch the versions in $HOME so you need to merge any changes manually.

@HoaS I see, thank you, I'll give it a try.

@KrunchTime Meanwhile I installed pnmixer and removed Volti, but it is still the same: Although I unchecked under Preferences/Notifications/Enable Notifications, that pop-up bubble is still there.

Ok, after removing Volti and installing pnmixer I just removed pnmixer and installed volumeicon-alsa. And it starts nicely via terminal command volumeicon, however under Preferences there is no notification setting.

So far pnmixer was the closest to the solution, but unchecking that setting did not work somehow.

I'm pretty sure it's there, can you see the OSD tab? The checkbox is in that section, IIRC.

martix · 2017-09-17 19:36:06

OSD tab? This is all I can see:

I'm afraid no tab here...

Oh yes, my apologies — the stretch package has that option but not the jessie version, obviously.

I think I have it now: xfce4-volumed is used for the notifications in BL-H & BL-H² so try removing that package.

martix · 2017-09-17 21:43:38

That did the trick, thank you! Removing xfce4-volumed and a restart get rid of notifications while changing volume.

There is one thing I'm wondering about though: I have "debian stretch main contrib non-free" in the repos list and it looks like volumeicon came from there (stable/main). Is it the jessie or stretch version of volumeicon?

martix · 2017-09-17 21:46:38

Oh, and let me add: Much better this way! That notification bubble was kind of superfluous (and annoying), as there is the percentage on the volume icon already. 8)

Debian stretch == Debian stable

For the time being anyway...

So it looks like this is a Helium-dev system then?

That shouldn't have xfce4-volumed installed, we removed it from the package list.

martix · 2017-09-17 23:51:36

^Well, I guess it's not really a clean Helium-dev system, more like a fool's strech based kind of Helium #BĹ. It runs rock solid, is working fine so far. Here and there minor issues sometimes (probably this is why xfce4-volumed was there), but it's great otherwise.

johnraff · 2017-09-18 00:46:28

(In fact xfce4-volumed was dropped with the "Deuterium" Hydrogen point release. Although the package itself was not removed from existing users' systems, the entry in openbox/autostart should have been removed by bl-welcome.)

martix · 2017-09-18 10:11:58

^That was it then. The package is not there anymore, but I still had the entry: "## Volume keys daemon
xfce4-volumed &" Anyhow autostart is also cleaned up now.
