Comparing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf of Gutsy Tribe-5 to Feisty I found that the login sound is disabled in Gutsy.
To enable it, find this section: #SoundOnLogin=false #SoundOnLoginFile= And replace with: SoundOnLogin=true SoundOnLoginFile=/usr/share/sounds/question.wav The Log=in sound (drum roll) now plays. You could edit SoundOnLoginSuccess in a similar way but from looking at Feisty this isn't the way it is done. It appears to be set on a per-user basis. Checking ~/.gnome2/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist I found it was empty. Altering the Sound Preferences: Sounds "Log out" or "Log in" causes the changes to be written to gnome-2.soundlist. Changes to other options are written to gtk-events-2.soundlist in the same directory. Unfortunately this doesn't help to make the user log-in sounds play. I am continuing to investigate. ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => TJ ** Summary changed: - No Sound on Login Screen or during Login in Gutsy Tribe 3 + [Gutsy Tribe-5] No Sound on Login Screen or during Login in ** Summary changed: - [Gutsy Tribe-5] No Sound on Login Screen or during Login in + [Gutsy Tribe-5] No Sound on Login Screen or during Login -- [Gutsy Tribe-5] No Sound on Login Screen or during Login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
