I installed 11.10 Beta 2 yesterday and after installing gnome-shell and
all the required updates, I started to experience the same issue listed
in this report. Upon troubleshooting the issue for a few hours, I found
that /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play does not look for the 'ogg' files under
"/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/". Instead, it expects the 'ogg' files
to be under "/usr/share/sounds/".
Also, when attempting to manually run the "/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play
--id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"", the following message
was displayed in the terminal window:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"
Failed to play sound: File or data not found
To clear the Gtk-WARNING message and get the login sound (drums) back, I
performed the following steps:
1. sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
> This cleared the Gtk-WARNING
2. sudo cp /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/* /usr/share/sounds/*
I hope this is fixed in the final release of ubuntu 11.10!
