I hear you, mpt. Startup sounds (drums / orca) are interesting problems, particularly if a11y is involved. You almost want an a11y setting that says "on startup, always use X volume."
I still don't understand your A/B scenario problem. Using the behavior from the bug description (and my branches), the following will happen: - A logs out with volume at 100%, greeter shows volume at 100% - B sits down, switches to their account, greeter switches sound to muted status - B logs in, gets muted session You say you talked to John about this, but don't mention if there was a consensus reached. The design plan of record is what I described above and this bug description outline. I don't have a dog in this race, I just want to fix this problem one way or the other. Another point to mention here is SilentMode. Matthew, you describe wanting volume/mute to be system wide. I'm guessing you would like to make SilentMode that way too? (harder technically, but seems semantically related to mute) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840777 Title: Muting sound indicator in Unity Greeter does not mute sound on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/840777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
