Indicator Applet Complete quit unexpectedly
Trisquel 8 indicator applet issue:
--Using mousescroll wheel to adjust sound over the volume indicator crashes the applet.
--Opening the applet and scrolling over the sound bar has no such issue.
I thought this happened on a live system only (DVD live session) but I had it happen on my Trisquel 8 installation.
See attached image.
I also have the same problem... report it to "Issues", it does not seem the the issue is exclusive to you ;-)
It doesn't crash on my Macbook Air. Funny. On my HP Probook, every time.

I can't reproduce this now, but I recall having a similar issue back when Trisquel 8 was in beta. I think I found that I could make small volume changes using the mouse wheel, but the indicator applet would crash if I tried to increase the volume past 100% or decrease it below 0%. Can you check to see if this is the case, or if using the mouse wheel at all causes the indicator applet to crash?
I tried to figure out the command for the indicator applet so that you could try killing it and running it from a terminal to see if you get a more helpful error message. Running 'killall mate-indicator-applet-complete" kills the sound applet plus a few other applets. However, there is no binary named mate-indicator-applet-complete with which to restart it. I'm not sure what the correct binary is.
There is a 'mate-volume-control-applet' binary that when run places a sound applet in the systray. It is a little different from the sound applet included in mate-inicator-applet-complete, but I'm interested to know if it too crashes when you use the mouse wheel over it.
The indicator-applet-complete thing crashes even if I rotate the cogwheel one cog at a time. It doesn't matter up or down, max or min. Crash and reload.
The other mate-volume-control-applet works fine, has a bubble and never crashes.
Reinstallation seems to have cured the hickup. The applet no longer crashes on my HP.
