Public bug reported: On Dell Inspiron 9300, Oneiric beta (all updates as of 2011/10/07) the "Ubuntu" Gnome session starts with sound volume to the max, producing a tremendously loud session opening jingle.
Lowering volume, logging out and rebooting, the problem is back (set volume isn't remembered). This doesn't happen in KDE sessions on same machine. (As a safeguard I would request that no opening sound should ever be produced with a volume set higher than a reasonable default... Figure a laptop with good loudspeakers opening with a TREMENDOUSLY LOUD sound in a meeting room, train, whatever...) => Same issue also seen on another machine (Compaq Mini) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-session 3.2.0-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.19-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Oct 7 09:56:00 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-session UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-06 (0 days ago) ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 oneiric running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869795 Title: Gnome session starts with maximum sound level To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/869795/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
