I don't have the mixer too, this seems to be an upstream bug: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-media/issues/62 https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-media/issues > Along with the clock, battery, and hplip applets, it is in the > far right portion of the top panel and seems to be neither > movable nor removable. Of these, only the clock seem to be > present in the list presented by "Add to > panel". Could my database for the panel be corrupt in some way? Some other applets such as a system monitor will not display at all. If you have installed ports from svn you can revert to the 1.8 version following ports: # cd /usr/ports/x11/mate-applets # svn up -r 382163 # make all reinstall clean # cd /usr/ports/x11/mate-panel # svn up -r 374688 # make all reinstall clean # cd /usr/ports/audio/mate-media # svn up -r 386756 # make all reinstall clean After that the applets work correctly and you will have the mixer too. If you are using portsnap then move for a while /usr/ports and checkout ports from svn. # cd /usr # mv ports ports.portsnap # svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head ports > In any case, I just noticed that the MixerAppletFactory files > are found by "locate", but don't exist.

I am > baffled as to why this would be eliminated. You can also check audio/xfce4-mixer, that mixer looks reasonable. I am very confused how the mate developing is going, either the developers are too busy or noone cares about this project. Some time ago I found a bug in caja: http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3093 I have created a path: https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/pull/309 https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/pull/307 but within year the developers are not able to either commit it or just say something. -- Tomek
