Right, I have investigated this bug further. Because Natty does not have gtk+3.0 as a default installation, packages libgtk3.0-0 and libgtk3.0-common are not installed. This creates a problem concerning libcanberra.
To be able to play system-ready (drums) and login sounds, an executable file "canberra-gtk-play" must be installed (into the folder /usr/bin). The latest libcanberra_0.26-1ubuntu9 installs it only with the package libcanberra-gtk3-0. However, libcanberra-gtk3-0 depends on libgtk3.0-0. So, without libcanberra-gtk3-0, it would be possible to install the executable "canberra-gtk-play" with the package libcanberra-gtk-0. This is how it was done in the version libcanberra_0.25-0ubuntu1. In the later version the file was removed. OK, to test this (this is also a workaround), first check, that libcanberra-gtk3-0 is not installed. Then copy (backup) the file "canberra-gtk-play" from the package libcanberra_0.25-0ubuntu1. Then, install the latest version libcanberra_0.26-1ubuntu9 (this way "canberra-gtk-play" is not in your system). Lastly copy paste the file "canberra-gtk-play" into the original folder /usr/bin. Now the system-ready and login sounds are back. Note that this bug does not influence event sounds (libcanberra-gtk- module). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718805 Title: [Natty] system-ready and login sounds do not play -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
