GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 84774
Sounds for events are not playing
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
testing ultra 10 with solaris 8 and sun's prebeta1_build3 (built from 8th of june) sound events are no being played. to recreate ---------- 1) using the sound capplet enable the sound for events option and the sound on startup option. 2) logout and login => no login sound played 3) start sound capplet and display 'Sounds for Events' tab 4) select a sound and click 'Play' - sound is played. 5) logout => not sound played for logout
Jody, can you take a look at this?
looks like gnome-session doesn't do the sound calls.
I'm surprised it could play sounds on your Ultra 10. It doesn't on mine. See bug #84172. Any ideas on that, Shane?
Created attachment 9181 [details] [review] patch to fix login/logout files
Created attachment 9182 [details] [review] patch to make login / logout sounds, and to load login sound before g-s-d starts
this bug had a few parts: 1. the sound list specified a non-existent file 2. nothing was doing the calls to make the sounds 3. gnome-session would make the sound before gnome-settings-daemon had started esd/loaded the sample this patch also fixes up the halt/reboot configure.in checks. anders, mark, ok to commit?
Created attachment 9183 [details] [review] from looking at gnomeui code this patch is more correct
will test on next available build.
some additional information for sparc users... for sound events to play via speakers on the sparc, in sdtaudiocontrol you have to enable the "Internal cd" option on the 'Record' tab and raise the volume for 'Monitor' (then logout and log back in again).
btw shane - this isn't committed yet, and mark doesn't want me to commit it until after he makes a gnome 2.0.0 tarball (some time next week)
np jacob - just give me a shout when done - cheers
fixed in CVS: 2002-06-19 jacob berkman <jacob@ximian.com> * main.c (main): call the gsd and sound functions * gsm-sound.[ch] (gsm_sound_login): if built with esound support, start esd and load the login sound, and play the login sound (gsm_sound_logout): play the logout sound fixes bug #84774
just tested this on a cvs build from yesterday - are there sun patches that need to be added for sounds? there is no sounds playing at all now - not even when you hit the play button in the Sound capplet.
did you test with a sun build? the fix went in after the branch i believe, and there weren't patches placed in sun-patches.
tested with a build from wipro taken from CVS 25th june (yesterday) - you'd have to check with them about what patches etc went in...:)
i had forgotten to commit the other half: 2002-07-01 jacob berkman <jacob@ximian.com> * gnome-data/gnome-2.soundlist.in: use login/logout files that actually exist (bug #84774)
sounds verified fixed - tested in nightly built from CVS on 14th july
