[Bug 437429] Re: Cannot prevent login sound
Setting the sound theme to No Sounds results in no sound notifications in Empathy too and god knows what else... This one here is royal. Please guys, please mod the sounds window with additional tab so we can select what to play and what not similar to what was existent in Jaunty. Alternatively please mod the Login Screen with a tick to remove this sound. Ideally both of these. According to my limited knowledge these are no hard tasks if you know the APIs being used. And you do. At least some of you do. Afterwards when GNOME decides to wipe this shame upstream - just remove the hack and place the upstream version.

It wouldn't be so bad if the sound effect didn't play 3 second before the login box even appeared.

[Bug 437429] Re: Cannot prevent login sound
To be honest we almost need a sound management system that does for all the sounds like gnome art did for all the bling bling for the desktop. I agree that sounds should at least be able to be turned off, but on the other hand I'm one of those people that would like to customise the sound theme so I and pick which Ogg sound effects I want in place for each event. -- Cannot prevent login sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

1) If you do not change the Sound theme to No sounds, the GNOME Login Sound entry in Startup Applications will reactivate on its own. It sounds like this is the real bug then! While hidden, it's nice to see that this is possible.

[Bug 437429] Re: Cannot prevent login sound
Another vote for NOT having this enabled by default - it should fall in the Startup Sounds category. Wouldn't it just be a simple task to remove it in the code where it is now and then add it to where the Startup Sounds preferences work?

[Bug 437429] Re: Cannot prevent login sound
I was able to remove the login sound (not the drums but the successful login sound) only by doing the following: 1) Go to System Preferences Startup Applications 2) Uncheck GNOME Login Sound 3) Right click the speaker icon (volume applet) and select Sound Preferences 4) In the Sound Effects change the Sound Theme to No sounds 5) Reboot Result: No login sound Note: 1) If you do not change the Sound theme to No sounds, the GNOME Login Sound entry in Startup Applications will reactivate on its own. 2) I am guessing you would have to do this each user on the machine. -- Cannot prevent login sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 437429] Re: Cannot prevent login sound
I agree that this is a real issue, but ubuntu-sounds is certainly not the correct package. ubuntu-sounds is simply a sound theme and isn't responsible for any configuration. The bug could potentially be against gnome-media which provides the binary 'gnome-volume-control,' but I think the most likely candidate is GDM itself.

I agree with Brian. Even more, users must have the ability to login silently *and/or* to customize the sound.

I dont think removing the sound is ideal.
