[SOLVED] xfce4-mixer unexpectedly stoped working

Hi archers,
i am having this problem a couple of days now and i couldnt find something usefull in wiki
xfce4-mixer panel pluginn stopped working with the following message
Plugin "Mixer" unexpectedly left the panel, do you want to restart it?
User is member of audio group in case it matters...
I have no clue if this is a matter of groups, permissions or package
I am using now xfce4-mixer 4.8.0-3 after downgrading from xfce4-mixer 4.8.0-4 but the problem remains the same
thanks a lot

Try to right-click on the mixer and choose Properties. Then select your Sound Card and the Mixer Track and choose close. Hopefully the mixer applet will now work.
That is what I have to do on some kernel updates usually. With the drivers being built into the kernel sometimes the settings get wonky when you update that. Reselecting the items in the Mixer Properties generally fixes the issue.

Netctl-auto stoped working [Solved]

After update yesterday, netctl-auto stoped working. Netctl start MyProfile works OK.
Something I have missed during update?
Last edited by torors (2013-11-17 21:09:09)

I think another version of netctl has been pushed to the repos. Maybe you should try updating again and see if your issues are resolved by the updated package.

Xfce4-mixer failed to start

Hello,
I have installed Arch Linux and XFCE for two weeks now and I'm very excited with this flexible distro. The only issue that i have is the functionality of the xfce4-mixer. I click on the applications-multimedia-audio mixer and while the process be displayed on the task manager, the GUI window won't open. After a reboot the problem may be solved but after another reboot the problem returns.
When I run as a root the command: xfce4-mixer, the output which displayed is:
xfce4-mixer: Failed to initialize xfconf: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
I have nvidia sound card and (on board) hda intel but following the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Xfce4_mixer
I changed the default sound card from settings-editor --> xfce4-mixer replacing the value of sound-card to the PlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer
to fucntion correctly with PulseAudio. I executed several reboots and the xfce4-mixer opened correclty. Unfortunately today, the problem returns again.
When I'm trying to kill the process of the xfce4-mixer, I can't.
I tried set the default sound card following the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … sound_card but nothing changed.
The sound and the alsamixer works fine.
How can I fix it ?
Thank you in advance !

Make sure that xfconfd is running.
As a note, xfce4-mixer is no longer being actively developed. From the release notes:
Due to gstreamer1.0 having dropped the mixer-interface entirely, and xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed relying on this interface with gstreamer0.10, our mixer application and volume daemon cannot be ported to 1.0 and are consequently not maintained anymore.
A new pulseaudio mixer plugin has been added to the Xfce git tree - you might want to give that a try. From the readme file:
Xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is a panel plugin for controlling an audio
output volume of the PulseAudio mixer. The volume can be adjusted using
keyboard shortcuts, mouse wheel, a slider in a popup menu (todo), or via
a linked external audio mixer tool.
It works in a manner very similar to xfce4-mixer but more integrated with pulseaudio.

How can I avoid this message and the crash that follows? -"the program has unexpectedly stopped working and will close"

I am working on some books that I have had no problem creating in Indesign and this week, I was doing something and got an error message and had the program crash while I was working on something and lose my unsaved work. It happens all of a sudden and has been frustrating. Thought it was an installation issue, but this also happens on the newest version of CS6.
The original files (“books”) were created in CS4.
What I’m doing is copying a template for the appendix that was established in the first book into all subsequent books.
Here is the process that I used on CS4 for the first 10 books –
1.       open a file that already has the completed new appendix.
2.       Open a file that needs the new appendix
3.       Select the appendix pages from the pages menu in the completed file and “move” them to the new file.
4.       Voila!
When I started using CS5 this worked for one book. Now the last book is giving me an error message during step 3. So, I select the pages I want to move and click “move” and then I get a message that says “the program has unexpectedly stopped working and will close”. This is the same message I got with CS6.

Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

Don't know what it means or if it will help solve the issue, but thought I would share it.
All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.

Elements will open psd files with no problem, it will even open psd file of some complexity, including multiple layers, text layers, adjustment effects. It will ignore alpha channels of course, and while it will display any layer effects you applied, they don't appear in the layers pallette and you can't change them, you have them, they just work differently.
With regard to text: as long as you have the same fonts you had pre-Leopard all will be fine. If you are missing some font you used in an old project Elements will substitute something else. It will tell you so. But then so will Photoshop CS.
While there are some things Elements doesn't have that Photoshop CS does, there is often a work around to get the same thing. One major difference is layer masks, but see for instance these on how to get around this:

Read the Adobe description of Elements 6 and see what you think. Personally, I'm going for Elements, and also going to investigate the capablities of the GIMP.

(SOLVED) xfce4-appfinder Segmentation fault

Hi all,
I just discovered yesterday that xfce4-appfinder ins't working on my desktop (it works fine on my laptop though). Running it from xfce it just does nothing but if I run it from the terminal I just get this message: Segmentation fault.
I'm pretty sure it worked like two months ago. I installed some apps and did some upgrades from that time on. Already tried to downgrade xfce4-appfinder to the previous version but I still got the same error.
Does anyone have/had this problem?
Thanks in advance.

[split] xfce4-mixer window is blank

Heh...I never knew about that either! Although...mine just loads up a blank window. When I try to switch under File -> Options -> Device from default to NVidia nForce2, the setting doesn't stick and I get no options for adjustment. Any suggestions?

Well, after taking the suggestion from the old thread, the mixer will load properly when I use the panel launcher. I did have to right click on it and select the correct device, but then it would launch correctly.
Unfortunately, trying it from the command-line still doesn't work, and I don't want to have it on my panel all the time. As it was mentioned by the other person with the same problem, if I load up the blank version by issuing <code>xfce4-mixer</code> from the CLI, go to options and try to change the device, there's no effect.
There isn't a <code>man</code> page for <code>xfce4-mixer</code>, so I'm not sure if there's some CLI switch I can pass to it for it to work. Any suggestions?

Cd/dvd drive stoped working

My cd writer/dvd drive has stoped working without any error messages or anything that could explain what went wrong. My computer is a year old and the drive was rarely used. how can I fix this?

Chad, welcome to the forum.
Check in the Device Manager to see if the drive is listed. If it is, uninstall it from the system using the Device Manager and reboot. This may solve your problem. If not, check to see if there is a firmware update available for the drive. A firmware update can solve many problems. Let us know if either of these solutions work.

Did you managed to solve this issue? Performing a hard reset usually helps.
Press and hold both the Lock button and Home button simultaneously until screen fades.

Mapping media keys to xfce4-mixer

I tried to search and find someway to link my media keys on XPS M1330 to my xfce4-mixer. My keyboard is setup as evdev, running xev shows my keys are already set to XF86Audio(something). I even tried to map xmodmap and it didn't help. Anyone know if it is possible to map keys to control xfce4-mixer?

Maybe, I don't know. I have solved it using another software that comes with ALSA. (The result is the same, it will show up in xfce4-mixer too)
Menu -> Settings -> Keybord --> Application Shortcut Tab
Button Add
Command: amixer -c 0 sset Master 5+
Command shortcut: *Press your Vol+ key*
Button Add
Command: amixer -c 0 sset Master 5-
Command shortcut: *Press your Vol- key*

Command: amixer -c 0 sset Master toggle
Command shortcut: *Press your Mute key*

PulseAudio and xfce4-mixer

Is any other mixer who works like xfce4-mixer and have pulseaudio support?
I need mixer in tray which works with Pulseaudio.
Cheers

I did not mean to bump old posts, but wanted to give a solution for other who may search.
In AUR repository there is a nice program called obmixer, which I now am happily using with FVWM... It is good, as it can work with alsa and pulseaudio... I love it as it stays in a tray...
Alternatives may be gvolwheel or gvtray, but both only works with alsa...

Xfce4 mixer question

does anyone know how to change the mixer on the panel to use the master volume instead of master1? (or alternatively, i guess, change applications to be volume controlled by master1 instead of master? )
before the latest upgrade i could control overall volume and things like web browser plugin volume, etc. with the indicator on the panel, now i have to actually open the mixer (which kind of defeats the purpose of having the level meter on the panel ). i checked the various ~/.xfce4 config files, but i didn't see anything that assigned that in any of them. i changed the libmixer.so value in xfce4rc to id="0" and id="1" (default seems to be id="-1") but that didn't work. (i'd like to change the icon too, if anyone knows how.)
otherwise xfce4 4.2.0 rocks! icons on the context menu are awesome, and a lot of the interface is much better. kudos to the xfce4 team!

slackhack wrote:does anyone know how to change the mixer on the panel to use the master volume instead of master1? (or alternatively, i guess, change applications to be volume controlled by master1 instead of master? )
mixer on the panel = volume control ?
What is master1 ? I only have Master;0
You can choose "wannabe master" in the properties of volume control item.
You can also mark "useful controls" in sound section of xfce settings manager.
I guess I don't really understand what's your problem with mixer settings (I'm assuming you have xfce4-mixer 4.2.0-1). You can't see
all mixer controls in xfce sound settings and/or mixer (volume control) properties ?
slackhack wrote:i checked the various ~/.xfce4 config files, but i didn't see anything that assigned that in any of them.
BTW it's now ~/.config/xfce4
slackhack wrote:otherwise xfce4 4.2.0 rocks! icons on the context menu are awesome, and a lot of the interface is much better. kudos to the xfce4 team!
You can also try new xfce4-terminal:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=9306
The only problem I'm having with 4.2 is that it now starts on all screens and displays (I have :0.0 (crt) and :0.1 (tv)) and I don't know how to start it only on crt (I don't need it on the tv). The previous version didn't do it. I already modified all settings and I'm using my own .xinitrc (startx). When I remove session manager it still starts xfdesktop on the tv. Anyone knows a solution????

Xfce4-mixer crash on mouse scroll volume change attempt

Hi,
I have the latest (4.8.0-1) xfce4-mixer plugin installed and it crashes 100% of the time when I try to change the volume by moving the mouse over it and start scrolling. Everything else works as expected.
Any ideas how to make it work?
Thanks.

Hey,
I seem to have the same problem. In /var/log/everything.log I see:
"xfce4-mixer-plu[2354]: segfault at 24 ip 0000000000406553 sp 00007fff8c864640 error 4 in xfce4-mixer-plugin[400000+a000]"
It could be a bug that is only present when debug output is disabled. See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24323
The bug was filed in May 2011, so it could be a different problem. I didn't have time to test it yet cause I'm having exams at the moment, but compiling it with " --enable-debug=minimum" might help.
Good luck
