@Sebastien Sorry for the late reply. I recall that the workaround consisted in adding a random delay to the apt-daily task, so that it would not happen *right* at startup. How exactly this was done, unfortunately, I did write it down :-/ but I think it was adding or creating the file

Sorry for the late answer. In my case, the sound was the correct one, but it was played twice at the same time, causing some unpleasant saturation. Furthermore, if I changed the sound in the Gnome control panel, than I would have two different sounds playing at the same time (the newly configure
