[opensuse] so what is happening with pavucontrol
Whenever I need to use skype, pavucontrol is the main tool I use to make sure all my volume settings are adjusted correctly. I had not used skype in a month or so, and just now I opened it up, and then opened up pavucontrol like I normally do. pavucontrol used to have slider knobs on the various volumes so that you could adjust the input levels, as well as tabs on top so that you could select which input or output streams you wanted to monitor. It also had a graphical indicator of the volume it was reading. Now it doesn't really have much of anything, and minimal ability to select which stream you are looking at. Here is what it looks like now without any of the controls: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_20160921_084949-GQMilmcU.png Maybe I am missing some dependencies?

Try removing the directory ~/.config/pulse Then restart pulseaudio or log out of KDE and log back in. When I open pavucontrol, I see the Tabs: Playback, recording, output devices, input devices, and configuration. When I play a sound file in Amarok, that stream with an adjustable vol. slider shows up under the playback tab with a VU meter. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, I tried removing the directory, logging out and back in, restarting pulseaudio service, all to no avail. I still have no controls on pulseaudio. -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | Plasma 5.4.7, Qt 5.7.0 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, so I have an idea of what is going on now. It seems there is an issue with GTK. When I changed the GTK3 theme in KDE to Adwaita instead of Breeze, pavucontrol began to work, and the sliders, knobs, and tabs came back. I figured this out by running pavucontrol in a terminal in KDE, and here is the output - I will only post the first part of it, since it is long. -------------------------- ~> pavucontrol (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:94:20: '-gtk-icon-shadow' is not a valid property name (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:104:2: Missing name of pseudo-class (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:116:21: Missing name of pseudo-class (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:142:20: Not a valid image (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:184:6: Missing name of pseudo-class (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:186:8: Missing name of pseudo-class (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:218:18: '-gtk-icon-shadow' is not a valid property name (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:223:20: '-gtk-icon-shadow' is not a valid property name (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:272:18: Missing name of pseudo-class (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:284:26: Missing name of pseudo-class (pavucontrol:3588): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:309:18: '-gtk-icon-shadow' is not a valid property name ------------------------------- There are a lot more entries, but they all are similar. Like I mentioned, when I changed the GTK3 theme to Adwaita from Breeze, pavucontrol worked again. Should I file a bug report? I have heard they have a lot of bugs with Breeze. Which bug reporting site would be the most appropriate location for this bug? -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | Plasma 5.4.7, Qt 5.7.0 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's interesting, because Breeze is the default theme for KDE and I've read more about users having issues stemming from running other themes which are more buggy. When I tested pavucontrol on TW, the GTK settings I used were these: http://paste.opensuse.org/images/72247541.png Of course TW is on Qt 5.6.1, Plasma 5.7.4, and Frameworks 5.26.0 which may or may not have bearing over the fact you are having problems with pavucontrol on Leap 42.1. It looks like it's possibly a GTK bug you are running into based on the threads below: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=212708 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=212642 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
