I did not understand that it was caused by pulseaudio missing, that's my fault, sorry. Then it is NOT a bug in the default desktop. Sorry for ranting, this is only a bug for those people that can't use pulseaudio (e.g. I need skype). Sorry for noise. In any case gnome-volume-control does NOT work anymore without pulseaudio so the best solution is the one I already had found: remove it.
Sorry again for noise. I was nervous because yesterday my laptop was seriously overheated. Rolf: 2) is not a solution, I need cpu power for those who deserve it. 1) is a nice suggestion and I'd even have said "do it by default" but after last upgrade it does not make sense anymore 3) even nicer if you buy it for me *or* somebody starts actually selling arm-based things :) -- gnome-volume-control-applet takes up to 40% cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400820 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
