Nobody knows how often anyone does anything with Ubuntu, so it would be unreasonable to cite that as a reason not to implement this particular setting.
Use cases include: * A PC at an Internet cafe, which therefore has no speakers. * A point-of-sale terminal where the only sound is a beep, so it's not helpful to change volume frequently (or at all). * My brother-in-law who has an old Mac in the garage solely for playing music, so the only volume control he needs is the one in the music player itself. I wrote "1. Try to work out how to hide the sound menu" not as a problem, but as the step to reproduce the bug. The sound menu is *already* a "group indicator", so hand-waving "group indicators" does not solve anything. If you have a specific alternative suggestion, then present it. But if it's inconsistent with the method of turning off the clock menu and the battery menu, then that will be a strike against it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829648 Title: No easy way to turn the sound menu on/off Status in Sound Menu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: indicator-sound 0.7.6-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Ocelot 1. Try to work out how to hide the sound menu. What happens: There's no obvious way to do it (short of uninstalling the package). What should happen: "At the bottom left corner of the System Settings “Sound” panel should be a checkbox, “Show sound volume in the menu bar”. It should be checked by default for a new user account. Whenever it is checked, the sound menu should be present in the menu bar." <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#presence> [Reported by "Eustace" in <http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/power- cog-icon-oneiric/#comment-291049247>.] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/829648/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
