Common Issues

wrong volume is showing in the status bar

When using amixer both your keybindings and statusbar need to be configured with the -a option.


alsa-utils won't unmute

If pulseaudio is running. You must disable pulseaudio's auto-respawn and terminate the pulseaudio process. Or use pulseaudio-utils for unmuting.


dunst isn't displaying icons in notifications

The icon_position needs to be set to either left or right in your ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc. In some distributions the default is off!


dunst icons are too small

Change icon_path in your ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc to a path containing larger icons, such as /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/status/:/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/devices/. Alternatively try increasing max_icon_size


Note only one notification daemon can be running at the same time. dunst can't be running for notifications to go through notify-osd and vice-versa.
