GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 470348
Login sound doesn't play since esound changes to gsm-sound.c
Last modified: 2007-08-28 22:13:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: The changes between 2.18.0 and 2.19.90 to gnome-session/gsm-sound.c that appear to have been intended to remove the dependency on esound/ESD have, as a by-product, broken the login (and logout) sound defined in {system}/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist and/or ~/.gnome/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist. The sounds still appear in the Sound Preferences dialog and can be played manually. Steps to reproduce: 1. In a virtual terminal, set a watch on the file: $ inotifywait -m /etc/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist 2. Log in with standard gnome-2.soundlist 3. Listen for sound 4. Check the virtual terminal for file-access to gnome-2.soundlist Actual results: No sound, no file accesses to gnome-2.soundlist Expected results: Hear the login sound, see OPEN and ACCESS and CLOSE file operations Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Pretty severe regression - picked up in Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe-5 testing
