I am using antiX 17.
I need some help to restore the volume control on the task bar.
It stopped showing after I enabled “Session load xdg autostart” to true instead of its default false. I changed it to true so that one of my applications (MegaSync) would start on startup which worked.
“Session load xdg autostart” is found in the control center > user desktop-session > desktop-session.conf > line 80.
I also have “Session load startup” marked as default “true”.Sound still works but I have no control over the volume.

You can try the following:
For every desktop you use, there’s a hidden folder in home
e.g. /.icewm
In this folder theres a startup,
Edit as root with the following line
volumeicon &Restart icewm ,or which desktop you use.

Did you disable the the startup file in desktop-session.conf when you enabled the xdg autostart?

I dont think he does.
Did you disable the the startup file in desktop-session.conf when you enabled the xdg autostart?
Here are the startup entries:
#Startup Dialog
#This is where to enable / disable the session startup dialog
#Options: true | false
STARTUP_DIALOG=”false”#Startup Dialog Command
#This is where to set the startup dialog command
#Examples:
#STARTUP_DIALOG_CMD=”leafpad ~/.startup-text
#STARTUP_DIALOG_CMD=”yad –image=’info’ –text=’this is my startup dialog'”
#STARTUP_DIALOG_CMD=”/usr/local/lib/desktop-session/startup-dialog.py”#Session load xdg autostart
#This will load any application that is setup to autostart via xdg autostart directories /
#.desktop files.
#Options: true | false
LOAD_XDG_AUTOSTART=”true”#Session load startup
#This will load any application that is setup to autostart via /etc/desktop-session/startup
#Options: true | false

Hmm strange perhaps you have found a bug. What is the content of ~/.desktop-session/startup? And could you also post an ls of ~/.config/autostart?

Hmm seems ok.
I am not sure what is different than how it is set up here.Out of curiosity (and may or may not be related) do you have two wicd icons in the system tray?
I ask because you have it enabled in the startup file and it also has a .desktop file for xdg startup (I get two using your posted configs).Edit:
I did notice that your desktop-session.conf uses different ” ” marks for the values. Example is STARTUP_DELAY
I am not sure if this is because of posting it in the forum or not. I had to change them all so they were the same after copying your configs from the forum. Maybe this is really a problem on your computer?Also if you could post the contents of $HOME/.desktop-session/log

Yes, there is a problem with wicd. Since I changed xcg startup from false to true, I have been getting a popup of wicd stating “wicd needs to access your computer’s network cards” and requesting a password–I put in the computer password, then I get two icons in the sys tray. I initially used ceni to setup wireless, and I don’t want to use wicd for wireless. How do I stop getting the popup and wicd?————————————————————————————————————————

Hi Dave,
I have answered your questions and provided the information that you requested above.

Thanks, when I have a few moments to digest the information and try again to replicate the problem I should be able to write back a better response. For the moment Wicd can be stopped by commenting out the grep….. wicd-client -t line. And then copying Wicd desktop file from /etc/xdg/autostart/ to ~/.config/autostart, editing the file and setting hidden=false to hidden=true iirc.

Thanks for this information.
While I prefer to use ceni for network connection, I may on occasion still want to use Wicd manually. If I make these changes in Wicd, will I still be able to use Wicd manually.?Alternatively, I could just use Wicd instead of ceni. How would I go about doing that so that the Wicd icon would be on the sys tray all the time?
Thanks

Hmm. I cannot seem to replicate the issue. I have a theory that it may be from a program you have installed but I do not that is starting with xdg startup. Could you post the output of
ls /etc/xdg/autostart/
and
ls ~/.config/autostart/So I can see if there are any other programs in the startup that I do not have installed on my system?
If my theory is correct and I can replicate it by installing an application then I should be able to fix it fairly easily and you would see it in an update.As to more detail on Wicd.
To enable Wicd
as root:
nano /etc/default/wicd
change: START_DAEMON=no
to: START_DAEMON=yes
as user either:
nano ~/.desktop-session/startup
uncomment: wicd-client -t &
or
nano ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf
change: LOAD_XDG_AUTOSTART=”false”
to: LOAD_XDG_AUTOSTART=”true”being that you have xdg autostart enabled and startup enabled I would say to comment out (disable) the wicd line in the startup file so you only have one instance of wicd.
as user:
nano ~/.desktop-session/startup
comment: #grep -q “START_DAEMON=no” /etc/default/wicd || wicd-client -t &To disable wicd in xdg autostart
as user:
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/wicd-tray.desktop ~/.config/autostart
nano ~/.config/autostart/wicd-tray.desktop
change: Exec=wicd-gtk –tray
to: Exec=Computers are like air conditioners. They work fine until you start opening Windows. ~Author Unknown
