How to restore accidently removed Gnome volume
control in GNOME in GNU / Linux
Accidently I've removed the
Gnome Volume Control while
trying to remove an applet nearby from the GNOME main menu panel.
Unfortunately in GNOME 2, I couldn't find a way to to return back
(restore) Gnome Volume Control to the main panel. After a bit of
pondering, I've managed to find a way.
Here is how I managed to restore it back:
1. Navigate to:
System > Preference > Startup Applications
2. Click on Add, then add and type the following:
Name: Volume control
Command: gnome-volume-control-applet
Comment: Launch volume control applet
Adding the
gnome-volume-control-applet will launch it every
time a new gnome session (with the same user) is initiated. On next
gnome login you will see the icon to appear again in the
notification area. Cheers ;)
