[gentoo-user] Where is GNOME_MixerAapplet

[Allan Gottlieb]

I just installed a new stage1 gentoo with gnome-2.10.

It keeps complaining that

   The panel encountered a problem while loading
   "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet".

I have emerged gnome-light, gnome-audio, gnome-alsamixer, and
gnome-applets, but cannot find the gnome mixer applet.  Can anyone
tell me where it is?

Thanks,
allan

away.

The key seems to be having gstreamer in the USE variable.

In that case, make sure to run

gstreamer-properties

to make sure the gstreamer backend is properly configured. I did try to
work with gstreamer, but the only thing that uses it --Totem-- really
worked much better with the xine backend, so I switched Totem to that
(recompile; if you compile it -xine it uses gstreamer; if +xine it uses
xine) and didn't think about gstreamer much more after that, so I can't
say more about its inner workings.

That actually was set correctly.  Once I installed gstreamer and
joined the audio group, all was well.  The only somewhat non obvious
part was that you need the gstreamer USE variable.

Thanks for your help.
