Public bug reported: The login sound in Precise can now be disabled by unchecking it in the startup applications. However this is just a hack. Here is the discussion on the ayatana mailing list.
I agree startup applications is not something that you would use frequently and the only item inside is the "Gnome Login Sound" (which i also believe is not the correct place for it either, as i was looking how to disable startup sound a few days ago in more logical places like user accounts or sounds but did not find it , so i had to do an online instructions search...). "Agree, that's a terrible place for the login sound - it's a hack surfaced to the user. Please file a bug." Mark I propose that it being integrated into the sound menu or the user accounts menu as an option. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/942182 Title: Disable login sound option Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The login sound in Precise can now be disabled by unchecking it in the startup applications.
