sound applet does not appear on upgrade & restart

[Vadim Peretokin]

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, and the sound applet is not showing anymore in the gnome panel. I didn't get any visible errors upon login, and the indicator applet is missing as well.

thanks for the bug report. there have a few issues in the past too. i.e. indicator-sound was not installed on people's system after upgrade. can you please check if indicator-sound is installed? you can check that by doing 'apt-cache-policy' in a terminal. if its not installed try 'sudo apt-get install indicator-sound' logout and then login again.

Yeah it's installed, that's why I didn't comment in the related report. Here
is the output:

vadi@vadi-laptop:~$ apt-cache-policy indicator-sound
apt-cache-policy: command not found
vadi@vadi-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy indicator-sound

can you right click on the panel, click 'add to panel' search for 'indicator applet' and add it. if its not there try install indicator-applet.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

I was able to add it back. So the bug report is that it was removed during
the update, while it should not have been.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

did you get an applet crash? if the applet got removed it's not the indicator-applet fault in any case, either it's gnome-panel which changed its configuration or it crashed and you didn't click on "reload"

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

There was no crash report. It just removed itself. I just reported the bug
because the ubuntu.com page asked me. Instead, yet again, it seems no
feedback was really wanted and all bug reports are invalidated when the dev
reaches a state of content.

Really should stop misleading people into saying they should report QA bugs
and wasting their time, to be honest.

Hi Vadim,

Sorry about that. I assure you all bug reports are useful. Even if to just confirm a previously reported bug of a similar description. Good to see everything is working now.
