Ubuntu :: Login Prompt Sound On Startup - Impossible To Disable With Usual Methods

Dec 17, 2010

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop -- clean HD, no other partitions.

(It's odd, though; when I go to System -> About Ubuntu, it tells me I have version 11.04 Natty Narwhal.)

Anyhow, when switching on my laptop, a short drumming sound effect can be heard when the login prompt appears on the GUI.

There are numerous threads on the Internet explaining various methods to disable this. I have done everything as instructed in these threads to no avail, including:

1) System -> Administration -> Login Screen -> Unlock -> [enter password] -> make sure "Play login sound" is unchecked (it was already) -> Close

2) System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications -> uncheck "Gnome Login Sound" -> Close

3) System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects -> Alert volume -> check "Mute" -> Sound theme -> No sounds -> Close

It's foolproof, really. Nevertheless, when restarting the computer, the drum sound is heard again at the login prompt.

I realize I can simply find and delete the sound files, but isn't that a bit harsh? Surely there must be a more elegant way to silence the login.

Ubuntu Networking :: Disable Prompt For PUK / PIN For Broadband Wireless At Startup?

Jan 13, 2011

I've looked quite a bit, but didn't find an answer.

I have a Thinkpad x61s which comes with a "Sierra Wireless Mini Card module".

When I start up my computer, I get prompted for a PUK / PIN.

"Unlocking SIM PUK required" (sorry, this is a direct translation of the French, might not be the exact same words in English)
With three fields to fill:
Code PUK
New PIN Code
Reenter new PIN Code.

I don't have a card in my computer, and broadband mobile is not activated in networkmanager.

Does anyone have an idea how I can disable this prompt (I don't intend to put in a SIM card before some time).

Ubuntu :: No UI Login Prompt At Startup ?

Jun 25, 2010

I don't get a UI login prompt at startup and it makes a sound. I'm using 10.04, though this did happen to me in 9.0x as well. When I press ctrl-alt-F1, I login and sudo gdm stop and do sudo startx this seems to put me at root and there is an error with the applets and the panel does not load. "Killall gnome-panel" does not fix it.

If I simply do startx (w/o going to root), it goes to a black screen and if I press ctrl-alt-F1 it repeats "No protocol specified" until I get the error message xinit: Resource file temporary unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to Xserver.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - How To Disable Login Keyring Prompt

Apr 2, 2010

Whenever I boot up my computer, Ubuntu (10.4) brings me to my desktop, then immediately displays a prompt to enter my login keyring. After some searching on the forums, it appears that this is because I set my laptop to auto-login. Am I missing something here, but what does auto-login have to do the the keyring? Why do I even need to enter that password? I understand that many Ubuntu users are picky about security, but why isn't their any option to disable this? It's almost as bad as UAC from Vista, which is one of the reasons I'm dual-booting Ubuntu in the first place. This is an annoying "problem" that has been bugging me since I first installed Ubuntu - how can I change it?

Ubuntu Security :: How To Disable Login Prompt

Feb 17, 2011

How do I disable showing Usernames? I want to be prompted for BOTH un and pw. If it is necessary I could just change it so that it boots into a fullscreen terminal so that you would have to input "startx" and then username and password. Or I could just change it through gui or 3rd party software.

Ubuntu :: Login Sound Will Not Disable

I want to disable the login sound, and System->Administration->Login Screen has an option that seems to be relevant. However, it has no effect. I know the file is at [/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login. ogg]; would I hurt anything by moving it?I have searched Google and gconf-editor, to no avail.

Ubuntu :: Startup With 10.04 - Lucid - Bootup Has Started Taking Longer Than Usual ?

Oct 4, 2010

I've been running 10.04 (lucid, Kernel Linux 2.6.32-25-generic, GNOME 2.30.2) for about 3 or 4 months and everything has been great, until yesterday.

All of the sudden, bootup has started taking longer than usual and the panel at the top of the screen with "applications", "places", etc. doesn't appear until the machine has been running for at least 2 minutes.

Also- the mouse and keyboard (and my external hard drive), all of which are usb, do not respond until about 2 minutes after startup appears to have finished.

So, basically, here's what happens when I power the machine on:

1. Everything functions quickly, and as normal, until my desktop picture shows and the icons on it appear.

2. Whereas before I would have had mouse and keyboard use (and use of the top panel with applications, places, etc.) at this point, I don't have use of any of these.

3. So I just wait, without keyboard or mouse, etc. for about 2-3 min and all of the sudden the top panel emerges, the mouse and keyboards start working, and then the external hard drive appears.

4. As if this weren't annoying enough, after everything above starts to work, opening applications (e.g. firefox) takes a lot longer than it used to. Basically, starting any application after startup takes a long time the first time it's opened.

I don't understand why this is happening. Before this, startup was super fast, and everything was working great. I dont know how to check into recently loaded updates, but perhaps something got changed there that is causing the problem.

I haven't changed anything hardware related at all, so I don't imagine the change in performance is due to anything on that front, but I could be wrong.

Ubuntu :: Disable Login Screen Sound?

Feb 6, 2010

I'd like to disable the log-in screen sound. Not after you log on. Since it's my laptop I can't just switch a knob or press the off button. The function keys don't work before log-in.. Well not for sound at least.. I guess you could say it's a bug.. unless it was intended. Anyway, without filling a bug report how can I disable sound @ the login screen?

Debian :: Instability - IMPOSSIBLE To Disable Nouveau Driver

Jul 19, 2011

I was using an extremely common debian based distro, but I have been rebooting my pc non stop for the last two days trying to get my nvidia fx5200 drivers to work. (it is just IMPOSSIBLE to disable the nouveau driver, i have tried blacklisting it, editing xorg etc, nothing works) I need to know if there are many issues with getting nvidia graphics cards to work in debian. it seems like the last 18 months worth of releases on all the other debian based distros have completely broken all support for any nvidia card made prior to 2011. i know for a fact that in windows xp all my hardware works perfectly, but i really dont want to have to use that, i have been a linux user for more than 5 years now, but all i am really looking for now is reliability. i want to be able to use the nvidia-173 driver, as i know that this allows me to watch the movies i take on my dv camera, and ......

Ubuntu :: No GNOME Login Sound Item In Startup Applications?

Aug 5, 2010

In Lucid Lynx, I am trying to change my GNOME login sound, and I find you can't do it under System -> Preferences -> Sounds anymore. So I followed the recommendation of every search result relating to "gnome login sound" and tried to modify it under System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. However, there is nothing relating to the GNOME Login Sound or any other login sound in my startup applications list.

How do I add GNOME Login Sound to make it an option in the Startup Applications list? How could it not be there to begin with?

Ubuntu :: Change Directory Of Login Screen Startup Sound?

Mar 31, 2011

I'm not referring to "Gnome Login Sound" I'm referring to the login screen sound. Those 2 drum pats you hear when you start up Ubuntu, before logging in. I was using Macbuntu, and have switched back, however it never changed my login sound back to what it was suppose to be. I knew how to change everything else back, so i didn't just run a script with out knowing how to clean up after it, however this is the only thing I don't know how to do. It keeps looking into the macbuntu folder to get the sounds before i log in. Probably being able to simply set the sound theme in the login screen would fix this issue. I've tried using Ubuntu Tweak, but no such luck. If no one can't find a solution I'll just have to use the other folder from now on >.< However I'm quite certain there's a script somewhere, that I can edit. I just need to know where it's at.

Debian Programming :: Emacs And ECB Missing Python Methods In Methods Window

May 12, 2014

I work with python and I use emacs as my IDE tool. I have been running Debian Squeeze (6.0.9) for some time now with emacs 23.2.1 and ecb 2.32. I am able to access my python methods in the ecb-methods window with no problems. However I recently upgraded my desktop to Debian Wheezy (7.5) running emacs 23.4.1 and ecb 2.40 but I have lost access to the methods in the ecb-methods window. The window is just empty while the others (directories, sources and history) are all populated. I have a second laptop which I decided to upgrade to Debian Jessie, however Jessie recommends emacs 23.4.1 which is running with ecb 2.40 also. The result is the same as on Wheezy.

I have used the ecb menus and googled for a solution or even just a mention that such a problem exists but have come up with nothing. Either I have a unique situation here or am doing something really dumb.

I would like to upgrade to Wheezy or Jessie but I need access to methods in the ecb methods window. How to keep my upgrade and see the methods in the methods window of the ecb system ....

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Restore The Sound With Primitive Methods?

Jan 3, 2011

I installed 10.10 on my machine a few months ago and everything was great. However, as of one month ago, every so often when I boot up my computer I get no sound in Ubuntu. This is not an easily reproducible error, as far as I can tell, but is a pain to fix. The previous times this happened I messed around, tried some commands shown in other help threads, and then eventually re-adjusted the "Profile" setting for the output devices in the "Sound Preferences" utility, which brought back the sound. I have never conclusively been able to determine the source of the problem, or how to resolve it. Now it is happening again and I have been unable to restore the sound with my primitive methods.

I just came back to the tiny village where I live to be near my workplace, and am missing my family - I just want to eat my dinner and watch some Buzzcocks with sound* - can anyone help please? Ideally I'd like to identify the source of the problem, fix it, and make sure it does not happen again.

During my travels of the forums I came across a troubleshooting script thing which I ran. The output, if it is of any use, is located here:[URL]...*Alright, this is a bit melodramatic, but the alternative is booting up in Windows, and no-one wants to see that happen,

Fedora :: Can't Login Into The Root Account: It Returns Me Immediately To The Login Prompt?

Jan 27, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 on a laptop. I changed the default shell on the root account to /bin/tcsh and changed the runlevel to 3 and then rebooted. Now I can't login into the root account: it returns me immediately to the login prompt and I can't see any error message (the screen is cleared).Why is this happening?Can I boot into some sort of safe mode so I can undo my changes to the /etc/inittab and /etc/passwd file?I tried booting with a Live CD with the intention of mounting the filesystem and making the changes, but the new filesystem is a LVM and it won't let me mount it (or I don't know how to mount a Logical Volume).
