Except, and I admit that this is just plain silly nostalgia, I miss the old Ubuntu system sounds, the intriguing drums at start-up, etcetera. <br> Question: Am I having some kind of trouble here, or is it that there are no system sounds in Xubuntu? And in any case, is there a way to restore the Ubuntu sounds?<br> Thanks.<br> Fernando<br> </div> <br> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <br> </blockquote> <br> Try this:<br> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">1st install the necessary apps:</p> <blockquote>Code:</blockquote> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <colgroup><col width="256*"> </colgroup><tbody> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 0.1cm" valign="top" width="100%"> <pre class="western" style="margin-left: 1cm; margin-right: 1cm">sudo apt-get install dconf-tools ubuntu-sounds sox xfconf</pre> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <blockquote><br> <br> </blockquote> <blockquote>Now the easy bit Login Sound.<br> Go to settings-settings manager-session & startup-application autostart-add.<br> For the Ubuntu login sound on the COMMAND Line add:<br> play /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg<br> You can point the command toward any sound file you like (it may have to be a .ogg file though - not tested anything else)<br> Add to NAME & DESCRIPTION whatever you like and click OK.<br> <br> Now system sounds:<br> Go to system/dconf Editor/org/gnome/desktop/sound.<br> Make sure the Event Sounds & feedback sounds boxes are ticked.<br> Then change the theme name to "ubuntu" (without the quotes)<br> All your gtk apps should now have the same system sounds that the main Ubuntu version has.<br> Now go to settings-settings Editor-xsettings-net & you will see SoundThemeName, change the value to "ubuntu" (without the quotes)<br> All your xfce apps should now have sound also.<br> Finally reboot. </blockquote> <title></title> <meta name="generator" content="LibreOffice 4.4.0.3 (Linux)"> <style type="text/css"> @page { margin: 2cm } pre.cjk { font-family: "Nimbus Mono L", monospace } p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120% } a:link { so-language: zxx } </style><br> </body> </html>
