volumeicon missing from tint2

hi everyone-

i have noticed after a couple of reboots and restarting tint2 the volumeicon is missing and will not be available unless startup

modifications that could be relevant to the issue-

     i have pauvcontrol as the volume control

could it have been an update that "broke" the startup?

the volumeicon becomes available after I run it manually after each boot.

will provide info at request-

thanks for stopping by also!

Unlikely, updates will not touch your home folder.

Can we please see the output of:

grep -v '^#\|^$' ~/.config/openbox/autostart

Re: volumeicon missing from tint2

^ That's our old autostart file, you have discovered why we changed it 

Here is the new version:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bunse … /autostart

You can copy that over your old one and log out & back in again to bring the icon back to life (hopefully).

I don't think any other changes are needed but I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong.

Just remembered that you do in fact need to use this string:

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart && cp /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop ~/.config/autostart && echo "Hidden=true" >> ~/.config/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop

This will disable the xdg autostart of PA in favour of our bl-start-pulseaudio-x11 script.

Re: volumeicon missing from tint2

Just a sidenote: Sometimes Volumeicon does not start for me automatically. This is what I saw in xsession-errors:

** (volumeicon:12182): WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioMute' failed!
Failed to bind XF86AudioMute

It might be irrelevant for the starting issue. I was just not sure where to look for hints why it is occasionally missing after a boot.

Re: volumeicon missing from tint2

Hi,

Someone reported the same issue in the forum of bunsenlabs in spanish (google+), and i recommended him to use volti instead of volumeicon. Besides, volti has its own mixer in gtk.

Hope this help

Re: volumeicon missing from tint2

@aitor_czr There was an annoying thing with Volti as a notification popped up every time after changing the volume.

After having Volumeicon for some time I personally would not recommend Volti, but it's also a question of taste. I still have occasionally the missing Volumeicon icon from the systray after boot, but simply starting "volumeicon" from terminal solves the issue.

Do you have our helper script installed?

which bl-start-pulseaudio-x11 > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo yup || echo oh no!
