Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I can't disable the BEEP with gdm3.
I've tried...
/etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults: /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false
/etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings: event-sounds=false
Also, in alsamixer disabling the beep, and installing libcanberra-pulse (both
of which were suggested after a google search).
Thanks.
Harvey
