Alright i have had the system sound control in the panel before and it worked alright. However i went to add it back in and the panel just disapeared. I tried manually changing the xml files, messing with the panel settings and even logging off and then back on. But the panel is still gone. Below is my panel xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Xfce> <Panel orientation="0" layer="0" size="1" popupposition="1" icontheme="Crystal" groups="15"> <Position x="200" y="100" screenwidth="1152" screenheight="864"/> </Panel> <Groups> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">xffm</Command> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/filesystems/folder_home.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-1" filename="libseparator.so"/> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">firefox</Command> <Tooltip>FireFox</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/lib/firefox-0.10.1/icons/mozicon50.xpm</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">quanta</Command> <Tooltip>Quanta</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/ksmiletris.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">gftp</Command> <Tooltip>FTP</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/input_devices_settings.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">gimp</Command> <Tooltip>Gimp</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/gimp.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">/usr/bin/gaim</Command> <Tooltip>Gaim</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/gaim.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">xchat</Command> <Tooltip>Xchat</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/32x32/apps/xchat.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">oowriter</Command> <Tooltip>OpenOffice Word</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/wp.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-2" popup="0"> <Command term="0" sn="0">xfterm4</Command> <Tooltip>Terminal</Tooltip> <Icon id="-1">/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/terminal.png</Icon> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-1" filename="libseparator.so"/> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-1" filename="libpager.so"/> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-1" filename="libsystray.so"/> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-1" filename="libclock.so"> <XfceClock Clock_type="1" Toggle_military="0" Toggle_am_pm="0" Toggle_secs="0"/> </Control> </Group> <Group> <Control id="-1" filename="libsystembuttons.so" button1="1" button2="1" showtwo="0"/> </Group> </Groups> </Xfce> Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. right click on panel 2. click on add menu item 3. click on sound button Actual Results: I cant Expected Results: added the sound control to the panel and no disapeared
Right, this means that the problem is in the mixer. I reduced the severity to critical as long as no-one can confirm the problem. Your config file does not contain the pager, so you should be able to simply run the panel again (xfce4-panel). Could you try to run the panel in gdb and get us a backtrace. There are no other reports about this so we need as much information from you as we can get. To get a backtrace do the following in a terminal: $ gdb xfce4-panel gdb> run *crash* gdb> bt <output of backtrace> Thanks.
Hello, Sorry but i deleted my config files and installed rc3 and since this is from a version of xfce that is not going to be used anyone this really isnt much of problem. But after upgrading to rc3 i still had the problem so that makes me think it had to do with the config, maybe something messed up and made that config files messed up. After deleting my config files and reinstalling again everything works fine. thanks, jordan
WORKSFORME, and judging from the comments it works for the reporter as well ;-) Thanks.
