Sorry to have to ask, I know it's on here somewhere, but I just can't seem to find it. __{{emoticon}}__

Can somebody point me to the thread, or do another write up here on how to do it, thanks.

Edit: It dissappeared after I did an upgrade on 15, then when I installed 16, I went with all the defaults.

trying running

Code: Select all

volumeicon
from the terminal. If it starts up, make sure to that

Code: Select all


volumeicon &

is in your startup file of choice.

there is also an issue that volumeicon will not launch under certain alsa conditions. the easiest is when the default sound card is other than expected. there is also a case where oss-compat needs to be uninstalled, but i don't think its installed in antix-16 anyway.

Sorry for not getting back sooner, volumeicon will launch & work if I start it in a terminal, but won't if I put a '&' after it, it hangs in the terminal, then when I close the terminal, it disappears again.

Tried putting it into .bashrc, .fluxbox/startup, & .profile - no joy.
Tried Control Centre > Session > startup - no joy.

The only way that I can get it to run is to start it using menu > run, but then it has to be restarted the next time again.
