Possibly related to the aptitude broken packages?? Normally I'd expect *something* - even a "command not found"... eg.:- $ kmix Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) kmix(14569): _refcount already 0 > Nothing > appears in system area on bottom right of bottom panel. <snipped> If:- $ apt-get -s install kmix | grep kmix gives you:- gives you:- kmix is already the newest version. kmix set to manually installed. Then try:- (and look for error message, and appearance of icon) $ kmix --keepvisibility If kmix is not installed - how much is involved?:- $ apt-get -s install kmix | grep -cE [CI] > > Using the menus like: click the big K, then slide right one item in > the bottom horizontal list of main headings to > `applications'/then up to `Multimedia'/ scroll down to `soundmixer' (kmix) > > Pressing that gives me a tiny bouncing happy face (or maybe it is > supposed to be a speaker) with sound waves emanating from it.
