I've got a clean install of Lubuntu 11.10, with pulseaudio
and pulseaudio-dbg
installed. The thing that bothers me is the volume icon. I've got a VOL+ and VOL- button on my keyboard that both work, but the volume icon won't show me the actual volume without hovering over it. And unlike changing the screen brightness, I won't get a popup showing the volume when changing it.
Is there any way to change the volume icon in Lubuntu 11.10, or at least make it show the actual volume?
Best Answer
volwheel
As you can see the vertical bar shows the volume level
to install
Download the 0.2.8 tar file from here and extract it.
Using lxterminal:
To start:
Either add volwheel in your startup applications or run
in a lxterminal
EDIT:
the following maybe required:
Rightclick volwheel, then click on the tab on the right. Change all the dropdown menus to 'Read and Write'.
Restart and the volume application will be there!
If you want the bar to show the master volume (which is probably the case), rightclick the icon, click 'Settings' and change 'Default channel' to 'Master' (without the quotes).
To start volwheel from login
Copy and paste this in Leafpad:
Save the file.
