Volume Icon missing in tray. Tried EVERYTHING! [SOLVED]

Hi guys.

I know it's a frequent problem, and I read a lot about it. But this time, the volume icon disappeared, don't know the reason. I tried everything to solve this, but nothing works. I checked the Gnome-Volume-Control, checked out Alsa-mixer, checked the tint2, checked that volume is available in startup. But, when I try the volwheel, it does appear in the tray as long as I'm still opening the Terminal, when I close the terminal, the volume icon disappears again. Is there a solution guys ?

Thanks..

Use gmrun instead of the terminal to launch volwheel. Openbox menu > Run Program or press Alt-F2.

Also you might want to check your autostart.sh file to make sure volwheel is still listed in there.

Where can I find the autostart.sh? I am new to linux so have not learned to search with the terminal and maybe someone else can get use for a answer to this question?

Edit: Found it with the command "sudo Find / -name autostart.sh"

If you still have the standard openbox menu, it would be in (I believe) Settings > Openbox > edit autostart.sh, if you want quick access next time

btw: If you restart tint2, volwheel also dissapears, here's my dirty solution to restart tint2 while keeping volwheel.

Thanks! It was a bit easier than to use the vi editor in terminal. Also I edited all autostart.sh I could find in the system that had something to do with bluetooth to start at startup. But it's enough to edit the openbox autostart? I give it a try again because had some problems now.

Good solution andreas. Restarting tint2 everytime is really annoying.. Thanks.

if you want to disable bluetooth, try rcconf. It makes it really easy to disable/enable services.
