I just took the plunge and installed Xubuntu 18.04.1 on my home
desktop and it's a little scary.
The most serious change I've noticed so far is that my sound control
is gone from the notification area and my sound all gets shunted
through the HDMI connection to my monitor instead of the speakers
plugged into my motherboard. Also, there's no volume control in the
main menu (see below about the menus).
What happened? This never was a problem on 16.04.
The sound control icon in the panel also disappeared, and I don't see
any way to get it back, maybe in part because of the following issue
with the system menu (the mouse icon on the panel).
Also, I used the same /home disk (not my boot disk - a new SSD) and
the menus (which were different when I first booted before I added my
/home back in as a mount point) reverted to the old 16.04 menus, but
lots of the pieces don't work. Some of this is not too surprising,
but the 16.04 settings manager app is still there and it doesn't work
on some the Desktop settings at all (doesn't even come up on a desktop
right-click).
Is there a way to reset the settings manager to use the new system (I
actually prefer the app, but not if it doesn't work...).
On the plus side, it detected my printers and configured them for me
when I turned them on - a really nice improvement.
I want my volume control back, And my desktop settings (that work).
Thanks.
