The system-wide sound settings *should* be read from /etc/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist, but Gutsy Tribe-5 isn't accessing that file.
With an inotify watch on the file in a virtual terminal prior to log-in: $ inotifywait -m /etc/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist no access to the file is reported. In Feisty the file is opened and accessed and, of course, the sounds play. -- [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
