Work around "sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set
/desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds --type bool false" does NOT work.
Sorry, user (username) is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/gconftool-2
--set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds --type bool false' as gdm on
(hostname).
But the line below does. So I edited the workaround above.
sudo su gdm -c "gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds
--type bool false"

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 -u gdm gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds --type bool
false
+ $ 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.
