After upgrading my Xubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 I have some problems:




  • the NetworkManager is not in the taskbar, I think that is the notifications-applet (german: "Nachrichtenanzeige")

  • the sound-indicator-applett in the systray is gone

  • I have no sound, that means, I still have sound if I start VLC with



    sudo mpg123 test.mp3




So it seems there is a right problem



the systray problem:



The systray's notifications-applet is usually looking like this:



enter image description here

or this:

it is not working anymore. No audio-settings and no network-manager in the taskbar in XFCE: there is just one small box with nothing in it.



When I install stalonetray, there I see the status of wicd and all the other statuses, so the systray seems to be broken.

sound


add yourself to the group audio with


adduser yourself audio

then you can play sounds again as yourself.


sound-indicator



see: No sound settings available in the settings manager window



This is noted on the release notes for Xubuntu 13.10 and is a known issue.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes/Xubuntu


It is this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204


You can use the workround:


Edit the service file


gksu mousepad /usr/share/dbus-1/services/indicator-sound.service

It will look like


[D-BUS Service] Name=com.canonical.indicator.sound
Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service

Comment out the last line and enter a new one, should look like


[D-BUS Service] Name=com.canonical.indicator.sound
#Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service
Exec=/usr/lib/indicator-sound-gtk2/indicator-sound-service

Save that and log out an in again


network-manager
