Re: [Bug 437429] Re: No GUI to configure/disable login sound
To answer your question - I like login sounds :P.
I guess that some people do, and some people dont. So should it not be an
option during installation?

The real question is; who actually likes login sounds? I can see
maybe the first time you login after installing Ubuntu, or maybe the
first time after upgrading to a new release, but EVERY SINGLE TIME you
log in? Why is that even remotely desirable?

If you don't get tons of mad users, it's either because they don't care,
or because there is no user-base or because of people like you who try
to shut people mouth just because they say what's going wrong.
I could have simply said me 2 or +1, but I considered it would be
more helpful for does people who just think WHOA, latest is greatest
that it might have some implications, which they didn't consider - so I
spelled it out for them, so they might reconsider next time.
And like in all things, the more people scream for a solution, the
faster usually business attends to it - you usually don't get a solution
for something that doesn't impose a problem first hand.
BTW: I forgot to add, that it's a lousy idea to play a sound when a
maschine is ready to log in, imagine an open office of 30 workstation
between 8:00 and 8:10 am. I consider it a thing that should not have
been copied from Mac, Win et. al. in the first place. So if you would
ask me, I would vote for completely rid of the code that plays any sound
when a maschine boots.

WORKAROUNDS

NOTE: These workarounds disable the system ready sound (the drums).
They will not disable the successful login and logout sounds. Go to
Settings - Sounds and set the sound theme to no sounds to disable these.
1) Disable all sounds for the login screen via gconf
$ sudo su gdm -c gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds
--type bool false
-OR-
2) Rename the system-ready.ogg sound file
$ sudo mv -v /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.ogg{,.disabled}

BUG
==
When you log into Karmic using a Gnome session, you get a drum sound.
There are many situations where you need a silent boot process, but it
appears that this is impossible under Karmic.
In Jaunty and previous, you could configure gdm to log you in silently.
This configuration has been removed from Karmic. Even opening Sound
Preferences and choosing No sounds for Sound theme or disabling window
and button sounds does not prevent the login sound from occurring.
Users must have the ability to login silently.

[Bug 378721] Re: evolution displays wrong notification of new messages
Hey! Thank you for taking the time to file this bug report :). This sounds stupid, but often unread mail can be lost amongst floods of read mail. So it would be great if you could double check that you don't have an unread message hidden somewhere in your inbox. If you don't, and this problem still continues when you try and reproduce it again, then post here and I will confirm it right away :D.

[Bug 374141] Re: resizing window leaves garbage on screen
Hey :), Don't suppose you could tell us a few more details? Does the 'garbage' disappear after a while? If so - how long? And also - is this with all applications or just opera? And finally - Do you have desktop effects enabled? It would be great if you could add them to the description. Sorry for asking awkward questions, i'm just trying to help your bug be fixed as quickly and as easily as possible. And thanks for the bug report!
