Re: [orca-list] Gnome 3.4 and Desktop Sounds



Trisquel 5.5 has login music until you change the setting for alert sound. I'll see if putting the alert back to the theme's default restores music on next login.

Hi Dave,

I don't think so. For one thing I use to be able to define sound
themes, and in deed Ubuntu ships with a Ubuntu sound theme. All the
sounds are there from Gnome 2.x, but none of them play. The only way I
could get the login music/drumbs to play is by forcing it to play on
startup. Otherwise it wouldn't play at all. Interesting thing is I
looked at Ubuntu 11.10 and enabling the sound themes works. I'm
wondering if this is a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, or if
perhaps this was a design decision. If its a bug I'd be happy to file
a report on Launchpad, but if its a design decision, something
intentional, then there isn't much use in filing a bug report.


Cheers!

I don't know that anything's been 'yanked', per-se, just that the
default Gnome 3 is shipping with a minimal theme.  If one were to put
sound files, with the right names, in the right directory, then visit
the Sound Effects thing, would they show up as they used to do?

Hi Dave,

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, I want to do more than just change
the alert sound. I use to be able to assign sounds for various things
such as login, logout, clicked, question, and things like that. Now,
it looks like someone at Gnome just decided to yank the sound themes
out for some unknown reason. In my opinion it really detracts from the
end user experience because the other leading operating systems Mac
and Windows have system sounds so why not Linux?

I don't know how you set the sound theme anymore.  When I go to the
sound settings page in Gnome Control Center, I can choose an alert
sound, where my choices seem to be:

default;
bark;
drip; glass;
sonar.

I suppose one can still install sound themes, but where to get them and
how to set them up in the gui?
