No notification for volume change on XFCE 4.8 with alsa

After clean arch x86_64 install with xfce4.8 desktop i cant get notification when i change volume on my Audigy4 soundcard. I used to have it on my old install and lastes package updates. I know xfce4-notifyd works since it notifies sond cange for example but not volume change either trough alsamicer or xfce4-mixer.

I give up an idea to install all these things from AUR, I downloaded instead packages from launchpad: xfce4-indicator-plugin, indicator-applet, indicator in versions that are oryginally in Xubuntu 11.04.
So compilling libindicator3 from sources just works fine, no problems accured.
But things got complicated when I was trying to install indicator applet, here is output:
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12
x11
libpanelapplet-3.0
indicator >= 0.3.22) were not met:
No package 'libpanelapplet-3.0' found
No package 'indicator' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables APPLET_CFLAGS
and APPLET_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I've installed gnome-panel-3.0 but nothing helped with libpanelapplet-3.0 missing package, and also 'indicator' package is missing.. I don't know how to get it, I've got libindicator3 package installed..
My speculations are that problem accurs becouse Indicator in Xubuntu 11.04 using gtk 2.0 and Arch got gtk 3.0 on board.. But on the other hand whole Xfce 4.8 is gtk 2.0 and It's running both applications on 3.0 & 2.0. If I found a solution I'll post it here. Please post your ideas to solve this problem, I think it might be usefull for some people
EDIT: I've just managed to install libindicator3 and indicator-applet. Still fighting with xfce4-indicator-applet. It says that package 'indicator' is not installed.
EDIT: Finally! I have libindicator 0.3.22 and Xfce4-applet-plugin installed. But when I'm compilling indicator-applet I've got following error:
No package 'libpanelapplet-3.0' found

XFCE keyboard shortcut for volume change

Hello,
I'm running arch on my laptop and i'd like to use the +/- volume keys to change the xfce volume, Using xev the keys are recognised as XF86RaiseVolumeLevel - or something like that. The only problem is i don't know the command to assign in XFCE's keyboard options to this key combination, can anyone help?
Thanks a lot, Pete.

amixer -c 1 -- sset Master playback 1dB+
You could use that as a command I guess, just exchange the + with a - for opposite direction I believe.

Extended Notification for UWL + Change the description of task/workitem

Hi,
I have implemented the Extended notification for UWL and I am getting the emails in outlook. Now the requirement is to customize the body of the email completely for the task '12300096'.
I have tried going to PFTC->Description but it does not have full text which I am getting in the email. I tried SE63 also. But in the email I am getting
The following work item requires processing in your SAP Workflow inbox in system xxx.
<Task description>
Log on to this system and process the work item.
If you have problems logging on to the system, contact your system administrator.
Now I want to remove the following lines;
The following work item requires processing in your SAP Workflow inbox in system xxx.
Log on to this system and process the work item.
If you have problems logging on to the system, contact your system administrator.
I don't find from where it's coming - please let me know how to remove these lines so that I can add my text in SE63.
Thanks,

Hi,
Go to SWNCONFIG -> General settings.
There you have TEXT_GOTO_INBOX - DTSWN_MSG_GOTO_INBOX. (I am not sure if this was the correct one, but you should check all the texts in general settings, if this was not the correct one.)
Now open dialog text SWN_MSG_GOTO_INBOX in SE61 (you see that you need to remove the prefix DT from the name). Here is your text. You can make your own Z-version of a dialog text in SE61, and then use that in SWNCONFIG general settings.

Karri

Headphones stop working after a certain time and the notification for sound change has disappeared

HP Pavilion dv6-6176sa
Win7 64bit.
I have a Pavilion dv6, and occasionally no sound will go through headphones when the jack is plugged in. The headphones themselves are not at fault, they are brand new and work fine.
When the headphones are plugged in, the sound will only go through the laptop speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the jack and socket (as I read on google), the only resolution I have found is to restart the comp, which is a bit of a pisstake in all fairness and I'd rather not do that every time it happens.
5 minutes ago I was watching a TV show, listening through the headphones, when I pulled out my USB mouse (and accidentally the charger with it). The sound then switched from the headphones to the speaker.
If I open the sound settings, it will display the headphones as being plugged in, but the sound indicator bar (thingy) will only rise and fall on the speaker icon bar.
Currently I have the audio jack pulled out about a centimetre, this allows sound through the headphones, but the sound is noticeably different to what it should be.
I had rolled it back to "High Definition Audio Device", then reinstalled it to the most current driver. This hasn't fixed it.
Also, this may be a related issue: (I guess) around the same time, the beats audio notification that pops up on screen when the volume is changed has disappeared and doesn't display when the volume has changed.
In microsoft sound control panel, it has the default speakers and the headphone logo, when i plug in the jack, a green phone circle thing appears by the headphone option, meaning it works i guess. However, the description changes from "ready" to "default communications device" and nothing changes for the regular speaker device.
When I go to >configure, and test each (L/R) speaker, if the headphones are plugged in, the noise is louder then when they're not plugged it
But yeah, brand new headphones, brand new laptop, it's mad. What's madder is that the headphones will work for x amount of time, then stop working when I next try to use them...

Notification for password change in SU01

Hai geeks,
Could any one give me the idea for catching password change in SU01. I have to use it to send notification to concerned person.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumarshankar,
I think you can achieve this using WORKFLOW. In SU01 there is an option to enter email ID , I believe.
Try exploring more about the options in SU01, you may find an option to achieve requirement.

Email Notification for ownership change

For any list or library under “List SettingsàAdvanced
Settings” there is an option to select whether to “Send e-mail notification when ownership is assigned”
Setting this option from CSOM is missing. This is what I have tried -
I am working with remote provisioning pattern to provision the site and required lists
List is provisioned using CSOM (Managed .Net) via a Provider Hosted App that is hosted as Azure Web Site
In order to set the value for “Send e-mail notification when ownership is assigned” there is no property exposed via CSOM
Am I missing something?

FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

Yes, I mean the eternal application.
Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
Thanks

Volume changes on playback in iTunes - with Vista and a brand new computer

When I playback any song, the volume slowly goes down. I have to manually turn up the volume, and then constantly adjust it up and down. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Definitely a Windows Vista issue unless it's iTunes specific ...
Try playing a song in another program in Windows and see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, it's unrelated to iTunes completely and is a Windows issue. If it doesn't repeat itself, try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.

Don't see email accounts to change notifications and no notifications for TEXTS.

I have had carrier issued software release 10.2.1.2977 for awhile.
I noticed now that under Notifications --> Core Applications there is no mention of any of my email accounts.
(But I have no issue receiving or sending email via this Q10).
And although it seems that I can change notification for Text Messages, in practice there is no LED or Vibrate or Sound that happens when a text does arrive. (And again there is no issue receiving or sending texts via this Q10 BUT no notification of any type)
Any ideas to resolve these notification problems?
If not, I will be forced, albeit reluctantly to "starting fresh".
Having said that I am not sure the best and safest way to do this ie reinstall carrier OS and then restore what I have backed up using BB Link.
I would love to know of the easiest, safest way to do as I have described.
Thanks for your advice.
And yet as you can see I am able to make changes of NOTIFICATON for texts but whatever I choose I still don't get notification via LED or VIBRATION and for my email accounts which Ican't see LED and VIBRATE is working fine (but of course can't change them)!
I have had this official OS10 software for awhile...well before I noticed this problem.

When trying to do a system backup to my remote LaCie hard drive, what does it mean when I get a message that says "waiting for volume LaCie disk"? While this message apears no back-up occurs. Is there a setting I need to change?

You can't do a backup of icloud to an external drive. In fact, does your post have anything to do with icloud (you're in the icloud forum)?
What kind of "system backup" are you doing? Are you using Time Machine?

Receiving notifications for other users calendar changes

Since upgrading to ML, I receive change notifications for other icloud users calendars I subscribed to, even when "ignore notifications" of this calendars is ticked in the Calendar application.
How can I prevent to receive such change notifications?
Currently, I need to remove the notification in NC and I must remove the notification in the Calendar inbox as well.
Thats really annoying.

No one?

Email notification - how to change?

I have a data only 8330 and can't figure out how to change the email notification sound. Right now, all it does is vibrate. I was hoping I could mess around with it a bit and get it to ping or something. Also, is there a way to assign a different sound to different email accounts? Thanks in advance!!

I just wanted to add to what the guys above have already said. It is a fellow blackberrian wrote this on a post (Jsanders)
1. Select the Profiles icon
2. A box will appear where you can quick select between Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal, Phone Only, and Off. If you wish to quick change the device profiles then select the one you want and exit out.
3. If you want to edit the tones assigned to the device applications then select the last option, Advanced
(some older models and OS 4.1 and below will not have the "Advanced" step--if Advanced is not present go directly to Step 4 below).
4. Select the profile you wish to edit. (Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal (default), Phone Only, Off)
Note: on the 8100, 8800, and 8300 models: Do not click the trackball. Instead, click the menu key to the left of the trackball).
Note: The profile that is in use will say: (Active)
5. You will now see a list of all applications that can have a tone assigned (Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, Messages ([email protected]), Messenger, MMS, Phone, SMS, Task ect..)
6. Select the application you wish to edit the tone / notification for
7. You can now edit Out of Holster and In Holster tones/ notifications.

Server Monitor Notifications - Drive Status Changed - Time Machine

I'm using an Xserve as a file server for a small workgroup . It has a Raid 1 set which is being backed up via Time Machine to an attached disk array.
Whenever Time Machine runs (every hour), I get two notifications from Server Monitor that the drive status has changed:
*Reason(s) for notification:*
*Drive status changed*
The timestamps on the notifications coincide with these messages in system.log
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
and:
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook called.
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook done.
The notifications simply report that all is normal, and the number of available drives goes from 6, to 7, back to 6. Something to do with making the backup volume available, I presume.
I would like to disable these specific messages. I realize I can disable all messages from server monitor regarding disk statuses, but then I would be turning off messages about failures and actual problems.
Is there a config I can edit which will only alert me to actual problems? I'd like to stop getting 48 emails each day; reduce the noise and increase the signal.

I know this post is old but this has recently cropped up for me. I have been backing up with Time Machine for months without a single alert. It started happening after I replaced the failed battery on my RAID card. A coincidence...however the prolonged down time surely caused an SMC (and perhaps PRAM) reset which I assume triggered the change in behavior.
I've pinned it down to Time Machine backing up service settings, in particular the Open Directory archive. Time Machine backs up all the service data independently from the rest of the data on your server startup volume.

You can see this data in Terminal.

-rw-r--r--@ 1 root admin       249 4 Jun 15:32 openDirectory.browse.plist
The ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage contains an archive of your Open Directory database like the one you create from Server Admin. The only difference is that it appears to be unencrypted. This is a bit worrying since Snow Leopard, as far as I know, does not have an option to encrypt your Time Machine backup. This image seems to invisibly mount whenever a Time Machine backup is triggered. This can be verified by checking /private/var/log/system.log and filtering for backup

Jun 4 16:10:29 yourservername com.apple.backupd[25117]: Backup completed successfully.
You can see at 16:00:56 Server Manager got a call from Time Machine to start the services backup and finished at 16:09:26. Open Directory would have been backed up during that process. Take a look at /private/var/log/hwmond.log
serveradmin$ tail /private/var/log/hwmond.log
Tue Jun 4 16:08:36 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 4 to 5.
Tue Jun 4 16:08:48 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 5 to 4.
You'll see that both drive change warnings from Server Monitor occured just before the services backup completed. You can also use the sudo diskarbitrationd -d command along with tail /private/var/log/diskarbitrationd.log in another terminal window, trigger a Time Machine backup manually and watch this disk image mount during the backup process. Compare the mount times with the above logs to see if they all match up.
Although I have discovered the cause (which thankfully seems harmless) I have not discovered a way to stop it from generating pointless alerts. I'll post here if I figure it out. I am in the process of upgrading all of my servers to Mountain Lion so it may be a moot point. I am hopeful this information may help someone out there even though it is thoroughly out of date.
