I've used the temporary work-around of removing the Gutsy gnome-session 2.19.90 and installing the Feisty 2.18.0 version.
In my previous comment I mistyped the version - it should of course have been 2.18.0, not 2.1.18! 1. Download the Feisty gnome-session v2.18.0 package 2. Uninstall the Gutsy gnome-session v2.19.90 package 3. Install gnome-session v2.18.0 4. Edit the apt preferences file to pin gnome-session so it won't be accidentally updated At the GDM log-in prompt *before* logging in, switch to a virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, and log-in the do the following: $ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-session/gnome-session_2.18.0-0ubuntu3_i386.deb $ sudo apt-get remove gnome-session $ sudo dpkg -i gnome-session_2.18.0-0ubuntu3_i386.deb $ sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences Add the following 2 lines then save the file and exit with Ctrl+X: Package: gnome-session Pin: version 2.18.* Put ubuntu-desktop back: $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Now switch back to the GDM log-in screen using Ctrl+Alt+F7 and log-in. You should hear the login sound. -- [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
