volctl doesn't start if notification area is not ready #56

volctl doesn't start if notification area is not ready#56

Description

volctl often does not start with my window manager at startup and I need to launch it, either through CLI or rofi. The error that I get at startup is

PulseAudio connected
Warning: Could not embed Gtk.StatusIcon.
Fatal error: Could not create a status icon. Are you sure you have a working notification area?

I'm launching volctl in my .xprofile which is then executed by my window manager with volctl &.

I ended up "fixing" the issue by increasing MAX_EMBED_ATTEMPTS to 100. Before making this change I tried to reinstall the package through AUR multiple times with no difference.

SystemInfo:

  • ArchLinux w/ kernel 5.13.10
  • x86
  • awesomeWM v4.3
  • Python 3.9

Could you provide any guidance on how I should debug this further?
