After doing an emerge world ny volume manager stop working. giving a message saying that I didn't had the correct gstreamer pluging or my sound card was not configure. I installed gst-plugins-alsa and the error went away.
Reopen with some errors and emerge --info output. Thanks.
this is the message went you click the icon The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. and elpargo@localhost ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Sun, 03 Dec 2006 05:00:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ " MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/elpargo/ebuilds/sunrises-svn" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dlloader dri dts dvd dvdread elibc_glibc ffmpeg fortran gdbm gnome gpm gtk2 hal iconv imlib2 input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kernel_linux libg++ ncurses nls nptl nptlonly pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python readline reflection session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_ati video_cards_fbdev video_cards_fglrx video_cards_radeon video_cards_vesa xorg zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS I just confirm it again I took out gst-streamer-alsa to get the error to post it, reemerged and worked again.
That's gnome-volume-control which is part of gnome-media. Gnome-volume-manager is the hidden program that handles discs, dvds and usb thumbdrives. If you have the "alsa" useflag for gst-plugins-base, everything should be fine. Don't hesitate to reopen this bug if it's not working. :) Thanks
