[Bug 744615] Re: "No sounds" should disable even the login sound

 

Hi,

How? To replicate it, you have to make an enduring change to the system
and then reboot, and of course the live environment is running off read-
only media.

I had reason recently to do a fresh install 11.10 briefly and I'm about 90% sure the same problem *did* occur, but there's that 10% uncertainty. Similarly I believe 11.04 has the problem as well.

Title:
  "No sounds" should disable even the login sound

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  If a user goes to System | Preferences | Sound and chooses the "No
  sounds" theme, they are expressing a very clear preference: Don't play
  sounds. But gdm plays the login sound (the drums) anyway, making the
  user hunt down the System | Administration | Login Screen dialog where
  there's a "Play log-in sound" checkbox (thanks to the fix for
  #437429).

  gdm should not play the login sound when the user has said "no sounds"
  in the Sound preferences.
