[Daniel Franić]

This popped out when i logged in in my linux ubuntu mint7 gloria:

To be clear, we need the following information (as specified in the bug reporting guidelines on the bug reporting page):
* Method of installing Awn and Awn Extras (if via repository, which repository? If from source, via tarball or bzr? any other distribution-specific configuration with regards to these packages?)
* Awn and Awn Extras versions (if from bzr, which branch and which revision?)

Additionally, does it work if you change icon themes?

i am a beginner , so here goes:

method of installation: synaptic
errrr....look at the picture

it works if i kill awn and then start it again....this only happens when powering/loging on my pc...i have an impression awn loads faster than other parts of linux so it wants to loads stuff which cant be loaded until everything loads at the start up.....at least to me, as to a layman, looks like :)

cheers

So you can see the normal volume control? Do you also get the error when you mute the volume (Click right on the applet, then choose "Mute"). I guess the error should occur then too and that your theme (Shiki-Mint) does't provide audio-volume-muted.svg.

No, i don't get an error when i mute the volume, i usually use middle click and scroll...it look normal....
this bug happens only after i login..after i kill awn and start it again it is ok....i mean it is ok, but i would like it starts normally...

It might be the case that the Shiki-Mint theme depends on other themes. Execute this in your terminal:

grep Inherits /usr/share/icons/Shiki-Mint/index.theme

If it gives some output, tell me. Then you have to wait for the rewrite version of awn extras. See last comments of https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras/+bug/398226
