Plasma's session after upgrade

Description of problem:
After the upgrade via dnf-system-upgrade, I find two (different) volume icons on Plasma's panel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-workspace-5.4.2-4.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update an installation of F22 (KDE spin)
2. Upgrade to F23 (# dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23)
3. Login into KDE

Actual results:
There are two volume icons on the panel

Expected results:
Since I didn't add the supplementary icon, there should be only one icon related to the volume settings.

Additional info:
I'm testing with qemu-kvm

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2015-10-23 18:44:53 UTC
Maybe we'll just have to document this in release notes.

plasma/kde-apps deliver 2 volume controls:  kmix and plasma-pa

Fedora 22 uses kmix by default

Fedora 23 uses plasma-pa by default

If you have both installed, they'll both show in the systray.


One other thing we could consider: on f23+, make kmix *not* show by default, and require a user to run and opt-in (triaging to kmix)

Comment 4 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-10-23 18:49:18 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 23-final by Fedora user juliuxpigface using the blocker tracking app because:

 Please note that there are some criteria which are partially unmet because of this bug:
- 2.4.7 Default panel functionality (The key question is "would this bug cause significant inconvenience or just a really bad first impression to a typical user or reviewer of the release?" )
- 2.4 Upgrade requirements ("The upgraded system must meet all release criteria.")

To be honest, this does not seem a big issue to me. Yes, it might cause a bad impression on first users/reviewers, but doesn't seem to break a functionality and can be easily solved by an update. t's certainly worth a discussion, anyway. That's why I propose it as FE.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2015-10-23 18:55:08 UTC
Offhand, I'm -1

This can be fixed easily enough (if at all), by subsequent updates

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2015-10-23 19:21:31 UTC
anyone willing to help contribute a release notes snippet?  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_notes_process


else, I'll just work on a kmix update to disable autostart (by default) on f23+ as threatened

Discussed at 2015-10-26 blocker review meeting: [1]. 

This bug was rejected as FreezeException: This bug can be fixed via updates and is not severe enough to break freeze for it.
