If at all possible, I would suggest that Jeremy's http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/libcanberra/ubuntu/revision/132 is uploaded in 11.10. IMHO startup applications is just about the last place I'd look for sound effects. The audio capplet in control-center seems close, and you can already select a warning noise there (although that's disabled for me right now). The tab says sound effects, so perhaps we can add the GUI there? Though from my POV, no real need to put it back in the first place. This is the documented way of disabling the login sound in Natty: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/session-loginsound.html My patch would re-enable the first way; the second way was part of gdmsetup which we didn't port to Oneiric. It was also suggested in #ubuntu-desktop to just mute the alert volume in Sound Settings, but I personally like all of the sound effects except for the login sound. It could be argued that the login sound is a startup application and I don't think shipping a completely empty Startup Applications is much better than shipping it with only one item.

I too agree that Startup Applications... is not the optimal place, but I thought that that tiny change might be possible to upload to 11.10. IMO, providing an easy way to control the login sound is highly desirable. At least you can point at it when people ask... -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
[Desktop12.04-Topic] Desktop sound theme,effects?
Hey, That's a small topic, but the current sound theme and effects are not great, the sound effect configuration tab doesn't make lot of sense either. Would somebody be interested to pick up on that and improvement it next cycle? We were also speaking about disabling the startup sound so it would be nice to have an easy way to turn it back on for those who like it ;-) Cheers, Sebastien Bacher -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I think its something that should definitely be talked about. Shane -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
