Playback controls don't work on Ubuntu 16.04

[Or Schiro]

Dear all,

Can someone else confirm that the playback controls (see screenshot attached) don't work on Ubuntu 16.04?

I can start anoise initially but then cannot pause it, neither can I switch to the next or previous sound.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thankfully,

~Robert

Thanks for your feedback.
I'm afraid that I don't know how to fix this :$ :( I think is a new API, but I don't find documentation.
Could you try installing:
sudo apt-get install anoise-gui
My apologies for this :$

Dear costales,

I very much appreciate your help!

I installed anoise-gui and launched it.

- Hotkeys don't work, however
- The sound indicator does not allow me to interact with anoise either.

Please see also the attached screenshot.

Seem to be some major problems with Ubuntu 16.04. :(

Warmly,

~Robert

Yes, I know :(
The GUI was created for another desktop environments without the sound
indicator.

Dear @costales,

Not much we can do here, I guess.

For now I will use the alternative GUI then until we find a way to solve the problem on Ubuntu 16.04 and its sound indicator integration (which I've seen is already tracked in another issue).

Thank you for your work!

I thought that I would mention to you that I am seeing exactly the same issue as described above but it is not stopping me from using anoise with 16.04. My major problem was that I could not stop/pause the application once I had started it. Until you are able to get it fixed, I am muting instead of pausing and am using the timed stop instead of the stop/pause/close. I simply set the time to play to one minute when I want to get out of anoise which works perfectly. This is a great application and I don't want people to stop using it because they don't understand that there are easy work-arounds until you are able to fix the root problem. You might want to think aobut posting this information on your anoise web page. Thanks for your work on this and your other applications, for your work on Ubuntu in particular and for your support of FOS in general.

Fixed in 0.0.27
Please, could you confirm it? Thanks!

[Or Schiro (orschiro)]

Yes, fixed!

This is so great. :-)

The only remaining problem/discussion question:

How to keep the GUI window closed and only manage Anoise through the sound menu playback controls?

Solved. Just uninstall anoise-gui.
