How to display a volume bar on the screen when volume level is changed?
-
How can I display a volume bar on the screen? Something like this or whatever:
I've found these pages that probably do what I'm looking for but I really have no idea what to do with it...
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_show_volume_in_Linux_with_On-Screen_Display
https://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31892
What I want is a volume indicator to be displayed every time I change the sound volume. Currently I use this command to change the sound volume:
amixer -D pulse -q sset Master 10%+ unmute
and every time I do it a sound is played:
play -t mp3 /home/pemartins/Arquivos/click.mp3
and I want to add another line to show the volume level on the screen for a second or so but I have no idea how to do it.

did you try using the script on the lxde link?

I think I did, I copied the code into a mew file, called that file "testa", made it executable, opened a terminal window on its folder, typed "./testa" and all I got was this:$ ./testaArgument number incorrect, only one parameter is needed./testa: line 73: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced scriptWrong parameter value !Possible values are: up, down, mute./testa: line 97: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script./testa: line 101: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script
Maybe it didn't use properly but I don't know another possible way to use it.
Also tried the first script in the first link and only got this:$ ./testaSpecify a scontrol identifier: 'name',index./testa: line 6: [: ==: unary operator expectedSpecify a scontrol identifier: 'name',index./testa: line 15: let: volcounter=volset/: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/")./testa: line 22: [: -gt: unary operator expected./testa: line 32: aosd_cat: command not found -
I would be interested in this, aswell. Any luck yet?
