Package: gnome-session-canberra Version: 0.30-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Using Debian Sid and after installing gnome-session-canberra, it does not provide provide any sound event/notification (at least for GDM). >From my point of view, this package has two different goals: 1) The first is to provide a CLI with canberra-gtk-play binary to play sound event. This may be used by some other packages and using Debian Code Search, those are candidates: transmission systemtap kazam loqui I did not check if their dependency suggests or recommends it. 2) The second is to offer some sound events in GNOME for both GDM (ready) and GNOME user's session (login/logout) About the requested sound files: -in /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/libcanberra-ready-sound.desktop $ apt-file search system-ready arctica-greeter: /usr/share/sounds/arctica-greeter/stereo/system-ready.ogg - in /usr/share/gnome/autostart/libcanberra-login-sound.desktop $ apt-file search desktop-login moblin-sound-theme: /usr/share/sounds/moblin/stereo/desktop-login.ogg - in /usr/share/gnome/shutdown/libcanberra-logout-sound.sh $ apt-file search desktop-logout And so none of them are provided by the sound-theme-freedesktop package. * Proposal Then here is a solution that works for me: - moving (or linking) the file 'libcanberra-ready-sound.desktop' from '/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/' to '/usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart/' may improve the situation. - changing in this file the "system-ready" by "complete" for instance from sound-theme-freedesktop. * Questions Is libcanberra targeted to be obsolete and replaced? Could it be interesting to split this package into: libcanberra-bin (or -tool, ...) and gnome-session-canberra? Would it be better to replace literal values (sound event) and use some $(gsettings get ...) in place? Thanks, Patrice ps: perhaps some other bug reports may be related to this one. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-session-canberra depends on: ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-7 ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libglib2.0-0 2.64.4-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.22-1 gnome-session-canberra recommends no packages. gnome-session-canberra suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
