Omnifrogso I had it working just fine with one to begin with02:24
wrstI had a new ocz SSD it had issues right from the start02:25

Omnifroghow the hell do I make the xfce system tray persistent and why cant I get a volume control or mixer into it?02:49
Omnifroggrr02:49
Unit193Using indicator-sound/pulse, or alsa?02:50
OmnifrogI don't even understand the indicator plugin02:50
OmnifrogI'm talking about the system tray/notification area02:51
Unit193Need xfce4-indicator-plugin and need to add it to the panel for it to work.  Since you're using Ubuntu, I think I'd recommendit.02:51
Unit193Right, of course.  You can use indicator-sound or xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin for pulseaudio, or volumeicon-alsa for alsa only.02:51
OmnifrogI had the indicator plugin in the panel for a few days. it didn't do anything02:52
OmnifrogI wonder if these things are missing because I started off with a Kubuntu install disk02:53
Unit193Indicator plugin is just an interface for other things to show up.02:53
Unit193Omnifrog: Start from Xubuntu core? :P02:53
OmnifrogI only added xfce later when I got sick of the new KDE02:54
Unit193I heard you didn't like Plasma.02:54
OmnifrogNo. I did not02:54
OmnifrogI've been a loyal fan and user of KDE for many years but the latest is .... garbage02:55
Omnifrogcrash report popups all the time02:56
Omnifrogfonts are all screwed up02:57
Omnifrogthe settings and menus are painful. it's like Windows barfed on Linux at a party that went bad02:58
OmnifrogI tried to switch themes02:58
Omnifrogeverything turned translucent purple02:58
OmnifrogI couldn't undo it without downloading a 3rd party theme and switching to it02:59
OmnifrogI tried to go back and fix it this morning but gave up fairly quickly03:00
