[Bug 1479470] Re: Unable to set new alert sound default

 

I am sorry, I fixed my problem, it turns out that you have to click,
then close the window, and then reboot before you do anything else to
trigger the old noise. Then it works fine.

Title:
  Unable to set new alert sound default

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 (with Gnome Shell) with Gnome 3.14.
  And I currently have the default alert sound "Drip", however I wanted
  to change to "Sonar", so I went into "Settings > Sound > Sound
  effects", and I tried just selecting the new sound I wanted and then
  closing the window. That did not work so I tried going back and
  doubling-clicking, right-clicking, etc... Nothing worked though...

  I then tried it the command-line way, so I ran:

      gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name

  Which outputted:

      'freedesktop'

  So I then ran:

      gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name 'sonar'

  And checked that:

      gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name

  Outputted:

      'Sonar'

  And it did, but still, no change, still the "Drip" sound...
