From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I resolve XFCE's buggy volume plugins? (lemmy.ml)

The instance of XFCE that I am using seems to be really buggy. I am forced to use both xfce-volumed-pulse and xfce-pulseaudio-plugin side by side, and the issue that arises from this is that now there are two notification indicators for the present volume.

When I remove xfce-volumed-pulse (this plugin is no longer shown on the official documentation), the multimedia key stops working, so there's no notification indicator.

But when I remove xfce-pulseaudio-plugin, I am no longer able to access the slider widget in the control panel, that allows me to tap into pavucontrol.

What is happening here?

Oh yes, I did. Since I reconfigure the Guix configuration, I also follow up with a reboot.
