After my installation, I saw a message saying 22 files were broken. Then a window appeared, and I selected the broken files and removed them. Since then, I haven't had a volume control icon on my laptop (acer extensa5630), and there's a thick black line on the right side of my window . How can I fix these problems? Please help.

I don't have answer for you just yet, but in the future, don't remove broken packages immediately. Consider trying to reinstall them instead. – djeikyb Feb 8 '11 at 22:43

see that you have indicator-sound installed because volume icon is the part of indicator applet – sagarchalise Feb 9 '11 at 4:27

First open a terminal. Then write :

For your package problem :

sudo dpkg --configure -a

(you'll have to write your password)

And for the sound problem :

gnome-volume-controler-applet &

ok for correcting your package problems, open an terminal and write the fallowing line : "sudo dpkg --configure -a" then push enter. It will ask you your password, write it. For the voume manager probleme, in your terminal, write : "gnome-volume-controler-applet " and press enter – user10504 Feb 14 '11 at 10:27
