That 'login' sound is one of the 'System Notifications', so if you
disabled 'System Notifications' it should'a silenced it. The same is
true if you renamed 'knotify.so'. Both are just fixes for the knotify
error you cited. You also probly had knotify.so running wild when it
errored, slowing your system and overheating your cpu/cache/ram and
motherboard chipset. So it's very important to stop and avoid that
behavior.
BUT this isn't a cure, just a quick and dirty work-around till you
find the real problem. Which could be that TV card and the module(s)
you introduced to get it workin. 'Specially if the TV card/ modules
were binary only (ie, closed source) from a vendor.
