Don't know. I no longer install/test 10.10 due to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/626974
[ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 drivers
in Maverick]
When I can run 10.10 on my systems with nvidia-96 then I'll have another
look. Until then my systems will stay at 10.04.

Re: [Bug 437429] Re: No GUI to configure/disable login sound
To answer your question - I like login sounds :P.
I guess that some people do, and some people dont. So should it not be an
option during installation?

Re: [Bug 437429] Re: No GUI to configure/disable login sound
The real question is; who actually likes login sounds? I can see
maybe the first time you login after installing Ubuntu, or maybe the
first time after upgrading to a new release, but EVERY SINGLE TIME you
log in? Why is that even remotely desirable?

Re: [Bug 437429] Re: No GUI to configure/disable login sound
Those seeking a GUI workaround, there is a solution! You just need to pick a different sound theme. Unfortunately there's next to no selection, but you can install the package sound-theme-freedesktop (the one Fedora uses), which is VERY tastefully done. Ubuntu's is a tad out of date vs. Fedora (no pop sound when you adjust volume, mainly), but the login sound is recorded at a sane volume and a bit shorter. Right now there's a big chunk of GUI to configure the alert sound from the sound preferences. Seems a bit arbitrary; definitely could use some review to decide which sound options are most important to people. Maybe a nice way to fix this would be to identify the priority of sounds done via Canberra and give the user an option for whether he wants low priority ones. -- No GUI to configure/disable 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

Re: [Bug 437429] Re: No GUI to configure/disable login sound
I think we should focus here on the lack of GUI for disabling the GDM sound (system ready). The Gnome login sound is more easily disabled even if it would be worth opening a bug about the problem with Empathy's notifications etc. 2009/11/10 lightrush > @Przemyslaw > You have a point but not exactly.

I would say the opposite - renaming files will surely affect your whole system sounds. You should just use the solution from one of the above comments: try: sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconftool-2 --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/sound/active --type bool false or: sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds --type bool false -- ## Przemysław Kulczycki >><< Azrael Nightwalker ## # jabber: azrael[na]jabster.pl | tlen: azrael29a # ### www: http://reksio.ftj.agh.edu.pl/~azrael/ ### -- No GUI to configure/disable 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
