After uninstall Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha3, it's still shows up in indicator sound applet

Asked by Colin Keenan

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha3 which uses Banshee. So, I decided to switch from Rhythmbox to Banshee. I like Banshee better, so I uninstalled Rhythmbox (sudo aptitude remove rhythmbox). Even after re-boot, I still see Rythmbox listed as an option in the drop-down menu from the sound icon in the indicator applet. If I click on Rhythmbox from the sound indicator menu, nothing happens, of course.

How can I get rid of the useless Rhythmbox entry in the sound indicator drop-down menu?

Log a bug

Natty is NOT ready and NOT stable so you will get LOTS of issues just like this

Thanks actionparsnip,

I had already realized it was a bug & filed a bug report and linked it to this question. Just thought I'd leave the question here anyway in case there was a way to remove Rhythmbox from the indicator-sound menu before the bug was fixed.

Um, have you tried clicking on the button and saying "exit" or something, then restarting your system? lol

Either after the latest sudo aptitude full-upgrade, or after I finally stopped using gnome-panel, not sure which, Rhythmbox finally went away from indicator-sound applet.

I kept using a gnome-panel for notification area for gnote and checkgmail until I finally discovered how to make them show up in the indicator applet (i.e. Unity Panel Systray):

1. gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist

to find out what apps are already allowed in the indicator applet, then

2. gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "COPY AND PASTE THE OUTPUT FROM 1. THEN ADD NEW APPS TO IT"

So, to get gnote and checkgmail to show up in systray, the command I used for step 2. was

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'Checkgmail', 'Gnote']
