To be very clear: This bug is a feature request. The feature requested is for the Ubiquity installer to provide an option for a Quiet System. This option would reside under the Advanced dialogue, which is found on the last screen of the installer.
If the Quiet System option is checked, then the installer would make these changes to the new system 1) The pcspkr would be blacklisted 2) The Gnome/KDE sound theme would have all sounds (such as the login sound) disabled. > The installer does not use pcspkr, nor does any sound play during the > installation, so > I am bit confused as to the nature of the request. Do you mean > post-installation? Yes, the changes affected would be post-installation. > Couldn't you just turn your speakers off No, laptop speakers cannot be disabled. > I don't see how this is really a bug in the installer It is not a bug in the installer. It is a feature request for the installer. > Furthermore the installer should not be responsible for turning off sound; the > relevant package should install with the correct defaults instead. Apparently people have differing opinions concerning what those defaults should be. Enough people like the startup sound that is currently exists as the default. However, enough people would prefer it to not be there so this bug report (feature request) exists. -- Wish: Quiet installation option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
