Bug#1043291: mate-tweak: can't change MATE panel layout by mate-tweak because of missed mate-volume-control-applet executable
I'm not too familiar with the internals of the mate-tweak. So I have reported a bug to upstream https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/mate-tweak/issues/94 . I hope to see Martin's actions there.

The problem here is caused by `mate-volume-control-applet` file location. It came from `mate-media`, you are right about this package Problem persists even with the installed `mate-media` package. In Debian 10 (buster) it was located in PATH - `/usr/bin/mate-volume-control-applet` (see https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=buster=any=path=contents=mate-volume-control-applet ).

So it can't be found by `mate-tweak` (see https://sources.debian.org/src/mate-tweak/22.10.0-2/mate-tweak/?hl=78#L571 ). My local quick and dirty hack is the following: ``` sudo ln -sf /usr/libexec/mate-volume-control-applet /usr/local/bin/mate-volume-control-applet ``` But I would suggest fixing this problem in the `mate-tweak` script - for example you can call this applet by full path - `/usr/libexec/mate-volume-control-applet`. It is still applicable for default Debian installation without Ayatana indicators. Ah, now I see more clearly. The correct fix for mate-tweak will probably be to check both locations (/usr/bin/ and /usr/libexec/) and execute the mate-volume-control-applet found (with preference to /usr/libexec, maybe). Can you propose such a patch to mate-tweak upstream? Thanks + Greets, Mike
