GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 14272
Cannot turn off sound events
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: control-center Severity: normal Version: 1.2.0-helix5 Synopsis: Sound Events are either all on or all off Class: sw-bug Distribution: Debian 2.2 System: Linux 2.2.14 i686 unknown C library: C library 2.1.3-10 C compiler: 2.95.2 glib: 1.2.8 GTK+: 1.2.8 ORBit: ORBit 0.5.1-helix1 libxml: libxml 1.8.2-1 gnome-print: gnome-print 0.10-5 gnome-core: gnome-core 1.2.1-helix1 Description: When attempting to turn on sounds for only certain events (ie: login and logout), I can not find a way to turn off sounds for other gnome events. For instance, I want to be able to turn off all three user interface events, but can not do so. I have tried the following means of disabling a specific sound event, and none of them seem to work: 1) In the Gnome Control Center, editing the filename for a sound event to be empty. When I return, the filename is what it was before. 2) Setting the filename to be a non-existant file. This filename is ignored, and the previous valid file is played. This may actually be a change request, and I apologize if it is. However, a complete inability to turn off certain sounds (while leaving others on) seemed like a bug to me. ------- Additional Comments From mpeder@us.ibm.com 2000-06-27 11:57:27 ---- Subject: Status From: mpeder@us.ibm.com To: 14272@bugs.gnome.org Cc: 14465@bugs.gnome.org Message-Id: <8725690B.0057A8E6.00@d53mta03h.boulder.ibm.com> Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 09:57:27 -0600 I've tried tracking this bug through the online reporting system, and I simply can't find it.

Is this bug still present in the most recent version? (1.5.x series.) Reassigning to Richard.
Still a problem.

SPAM as discussed last night. Search for 'SPAM as discussed last night' to catch these all and delete them. :)
any plans to fix that soon? Its been broken for years. We might end up having to reproduce the same thing in GnomeICU if the control-center is not fixed "soon" (that's gnome 2.2.1 or something like that).
Clearing milestone since AFAICT it was an unauthorized change to bugzilla. -> High since this is really broken If you clear the sound event file name in GNOME 2.2.0, it stays cleared. Does this mean the sound doesn't play?

I can set an empty filename now at least. Does that work for you in 2.2.x?
*** Bug 125528 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Bug 125528 suggests using a check box or a "None" option

This bug is still present on 2.6.
Yeah. We need a way to deactivate individual sound events, but I'm not sure the current api allows that in an easy way.
still a problem (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59485)
Created attachment 33007 [details] [review] Patch against control-center 2.8.0 This is a patch against control-center version 2.8.0 that adds a "remove" button that sets the event sound file to the empty string, effectively turning off the sound for that event.
Created attachment 33008 [details] [review] updated patch The patch works fine, thanks! I've updated the patch to use the correction indentation and remove the comments about the bug closed (they are not useful in the sources). The changes are pretty easy and the new callback is based on the entry_changed_cb one so it should no be a problem. Permission to commit to 2.8 and HEAD (it doesn't break the freeze since the button label was already in the translations) ?
Created attachment 33010 [details] [review] small fix fixes a small error (noted by the original sumbitter) on the previous patch
Well, it adds a button and a feature, so it definitely breaks UI-freeze and would need to have docs and any screenshots in the docs updated before it could go in on the stable branch. Maybe we should just do it on head?
yes, right, I was not thinking to the UI-freeze. Permission to commit to HEAD so ? :)
The updated patch without the cut-n-paste-o seems reasonable for head.
fix commited to head, thanks for the patch !
