I can run mate-volume-control but it lacks a mixer. The applet is already running, but offers no mixer, either. 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? In any case, I just noticed that the MixerAppletFactory files are found by "locate", but don't exist. So they were present last Saturday when the locateDB was updated, but must have been deleted by the mate-1.10 upgrade. So it looks like the only mixer is the command line one (mixer(1)). I am baffled as to why this would be eliminated. Looks like I am probably stuck. Thanks, anyway. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired
