Notification says "pa-applet" instead of the volume.

I am using i3wm and dunst.

I'm getting this as well. I wonder if it's something to do with the notification daemon missing or missing the correct icons?

Same for me, on awesome windows manager.

Also facing this issue on awesome wm.

Wrote a fix for this issue. You can clone my fork, cd to the directory and compile:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Test it with ./src/pa-applet. If it works, run sudo make install. You should be fine after that.
I'm using Manjaro-awesome, so this should work for you @kckbck88 .

Finally figured out how to get the volume slider working. On Ubuntu you have to install the notify-osd and notify-osd-icons packages. This will detect volume changes and present a visible notification.

@michaelmyc 🙏 Thank you, it works quite nice!

@mschwager So kind from you to drop here the solution. I'm on Manjaro and unfortunately I found only notify-osd package, so the result was the same on my case: showing that "pa-applet" text and complaining about missing icons in ~/.xsession-errors file.
