Hi thanks for this detailed answer
For the time being (till R14.1.0 is out - possibly end of 2020) you have the following choices:
- you can mute/unmute from the KMix slider LED, this should
work fine with PA already
This works but it is inconvenient since you have to fiddle with controls
- you can open KMix mixer windod -> Settings -> Configure
global shortcuts and remap the "toggle mute" keyboard shortcut to some other key combination. Do not use "XF86AudioMute" key, since this is normally used by KMilo and therefore may not work
Thanks for this but: it does *not work*.
I just bound it to Win+F1 for testing: this «Toogle mute» only switches the master but not the speaker, so it does the same as does Fn-F1
- you can create a script that calls "dcop kmix Mixer-1
toggleMasterMute", this will mute/unmute the PA master channel. You can add an input action tied to a keyboard shortcut to call this easy.
The script works, nicely
- if you are on debian-like distro, you could switch to
Slavek's PTB packages and get the latest R14.1.0-dev packages at regular intervals. This will bring you the complete fix in a few days
does that mean Ubuntu included?
Would you mind telling me the ppa?
Thanks again
Uwe PS I signed this message, since you did the same, some people do complain, though
Thats because the key issuer is some sort of all caps, 3 line swahili we never heard of before. All of a sudden we're getting popups from pientry-gnome3 asking us to swear that this key signer is legit. How theheck are wwe to know?
And it doesn't copy-paste, blocks all other input while its present on screen. Being the paranoid old fart I am, I am not about to click ok on such a mystery message. click on close or cancel changes the main, yellow kmail warning to click this for details, I click and it then says no details available. Is there a switch to shut this stuff off?
I have a filter for kmail that handles anoying stuff. Signed mails are not in this group for me, so it's missing this feature ... but feel free to extend it :)
Nik
I've no clue how Nik. And the procmail gauntlet I run all this stuff past finds and quarantines megabytes of virii and phishing stuff a year, hasn't a clue how to deal with this. Please get rid of the popup, its not informative in the least, and being an input blocker, it qualifies as a pain in the ass. kmails one line color highlighted advisory message is more than enough of a warning.
