[Bug 1708619] Re: sound settings does nothing - sound menu of the indicator applet

[Simon Quigley]

Attached is a debdiff for Zesty applicable to 12.10.0.1-0ubuntu5.

** Description changed:

- 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
- -> About Ubuntu
+ [Impact]
+ Without this patch, the "Sound Settings..." button in the volume indicator applet in LXPanel does nothing in a Lubuntu 17.04 install because gnome-control-center is not installed by default. This is a bug and a regression from the past Lubuntu release that we should aim to fix.
  
- Description:	Ubuntu 17.04
- Release:	17.04
- (installed from Lubuntu image 16.04 or 16.10 (dont remember) and then upgraded)
+ [Test Case]
+ On a Lubuntu 17.04 install, left click the volume indicator applet in LXPanel and click "Sound Settings...", it should open pavucontrol. Instead, it just does nothing.
  
- 3) What you expected to happen && What happened instead
+ This patch should make pavucontrol open.
  
+ [Regression Potential]
+ There is a very low regression potential. The only reason for this to regress would be if the environment variable (DESKTOP_SESSION), currently set at "Lubuntu" on a default Lubuntu install, changes. This would require an underlying change to another package which should not be changed in a stable release (there's no reason to change it anyways).
+ 
+ [Original Description]
  - I click on the default "sound" icon (provided by the sound menu of the indicator applet)
  - Menu with volume control, music player etc. opens.
  - I click on "Sound Settings"
  - Nothing happens. (I expect pavucontrol (or whatever) to be started)
- 
- Sorry for the amateurish nature of this bug report, but really -
- features accessible directly from the default GUI of a fresh install
- should work...

** Summary changed:

- sound settings does nothing - sound menu of the indicator applet
+ [SRU] sound settings does nothing - sound menu of the indicator applet

** Patch added: "1-12.10.0.1-0ubuntu5.1.debdiff"
