Application Indicator doesn't process menu changes (e.g. checkboxes)

I can confirm this, but, for me, it is the other way round, it is always showing "Mute All". This is a regression, it was working correctly in 0.1.1-0ubuntu1

This is not an indicator sound bug. becasue when you are playing something in rhythmbox its play button is also not ticked

@Omer Akram
Do you think it's a libappindicator or libindicate bug then? In that case we should mark it as affecting those packages.

Hmm I cannot reproduce this. It sounds like it could have something to do with the dbus communication. I will hopefully get to test this this afternoon with a machine that has no extra dx team ppa installs.

I don't understand why rhythmbox play button and the indicator-sound
mute menu entry might be related...

@Nicolò Chieffo because it all started together and also the same case is with transmission so this is not a indicator-sound bug. changing it to libindicate.

I think this needs to be fixed for Alpha-3 else we are gonna receive many duplicates as people test Alpha-3 and they are gonna report against the app they face this with.

Okay will try to reproduce and fix tmrw.
My installation does not do this....

This is not a bug , in the sense , the current menu in indicator-sound is done according to the specs described in the wiki > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#Menu%20structure

Changing bug to right package.

@Mpt , does the menu item need to toggle mute/unmute ?

Oops , there is already a mention for that > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#%E2%80%9CMute%20All%E2%80%9D/%E2%80%9CUnmute%E2%80%9D

err.. Pretend nothing happened :/ [i guess I'm a bit sleep deprived.]

Am moving this to indicator-application, which is where it belongs.
I would have set the status to Triaged since I'm opening an upstream task, but that's not necessary since it is already Triaged. Please only use the status Triaged when all required triaging steps have been fulfilled. Thanks!

Hi Sense,

I have yet to proper confirm this bug. Please let this with me and I
will hopefully get to this on an alternative machine with a fresh iso
install tmrw. I cannot reproduce this on my dev machine.

@qense ok This was marked triaged because the upstream developer is aware of the bug report is there any other thing necessary for a bug to be marked triaged?

Conor: Given I can easily repeat it, is there any useful debug I can gather, or if you want to build a package filled with a pile of debug I'll happily give it a go.

Hi all,

Finally got my hands on a machine where I could reproduce this. The sound service on the backend is doing what it should i.e. sending appropriate text property updates over DBus to the dbusmenu. The bug seeems to lie somewhere in the libdbusmenuitem. I will talk to Ted as soon as is possible later on today.

I think though this bug might belong in libindicator as opposed to libappindicator since the indicator-sound like the latter is built on top of the former and not on top of the latter. In less confusing speak maybe the bug belongs to the former => libindicator
:)
Conor

Conor: I'm not sure if it really is libindicator that is to blame here since applications using libappindicator are also affected. You said this issue is probably caused in libdbusmenu, so I would mark the bug against that package instead.

Hi Sense,

Yes correct libdbusmenu is where it belongs.

Okay this cannot be reproduced on my dev machine with this

This bug was fixed in the package libdbusmenu - 0.2.6-0ubuntu1

---------------
libdbusmenu (0.2.6-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Upstream release 0.2.6
    * Fix testing to make it more reliable
    * Remove delayed property queueing as it was causing properties to not
      get updated. (lp: #524308)
