Title is simple, how do i mute sounds at login screen? Somewhere on net i found it's in Login Screen preferences. Unfortunately these prefereces are greyed out - i tried start them as root with sudo too. What now?
View 9 RepliesI'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?

Altering the input volume or the output volume the recorder makes no difference: it makes the buzzing sound louder or quieter - but also makes my recorded voice louder or quieter.Can anyone offer me a solution that gets rid of the buzz whilst keeping the voice volume as it should be?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

when I tried to disable login sound by unchecking Play login sound under Administration > Login Screen, the login sound is not disabled, is this the correct place to disable login sound or it's a bug?
In Ubuntu 10.04, how do you disable the sounds that are played when the graphical login screen is shown, and after you login? There used to be a friendly System->Administration dialog to disable these, but every version seems to move everything around or simply drop useful features.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.
i created a user apache in group apache and by useradd and groupadd command. i am working on a user called server and group is also server. The login screen shows both the users apache and server. My concern is that if sombody has the password to the username apache, hecan login. How do you disable user apache on the login screen so that it only shows user server.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I remove that annoying drum sound from the login screen.I went to PREFERENCES -> LOGIN SCREEN, but there are no tabs or boxes for sound. Only options to determine who I want to log in.I tried GCONF-EDITOR, and drilled down to /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/sound/active and unchecked the active box, rebooted, but it still plays that stupid sound. And the box is unchecked if I check it! I've tried the solutions in the forum and nothing seems to kill that annoying sound.I'm still on 9.10 right now, since 10.04 has a nasty screen flicker problem.

every now and then there appear ugly artefacts on my screen. Until yesterday it happened every five to ten minutes; now it happens every few seconds. It is no fun to work with such a system, it is extremely annoying... The artefacts remember me on the artefacts you had 20 years ago when you overwrote an analog VHS-cassette a hundred times, except that the screen looks perfect between the moments the ugly artefacts are present. My notebook is a cheap Acer Extensa 5230E, exact specifications is being made public by my vendor: [URL]

now my main problem is whenever i change my visual settings from none to extra , i start getting noise on my usb headphone or even on my speakers especially if i play a video on full screen mode it become worse .. it starts constantly makeing buzzing noise. sometimes even when i minimize or maximize or scroll up down a window...
if i put the visual effects in normal mode i still get the noise on video playing full-screen mood but this is time bit low and on none mode i get the noise too but very low... so i m assuming there must be some problem with my vga card which is causing this chaos. unfortunately there is no driver for my graphics card dat ati supports on ubuntu, so i used gallium 3d project using this ppa https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/radeon .. graphics works fine now but this nosie is killing me ..
I find system sounds distracting, so having recently installed F11 I've turned the sound theme to 'no sounds', which is fine. However, when I boot my system and get the GDM login screen, every time the password text input box gets focus, it emits a *really* loud low beep. I have no idea where to begin looking to customise the settings for GDM to disable all sounds.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I have just installed Fedora (13) for the first time. It's great ! So thanks to all its developers !
I managed to do many tweaks I wanted to, in no small part thanks to this forum, but here's one that eludes me and my google-fu.
I'd like to customize the login screen (if I grokked correctly, that's gdm). I already saw how to change the background or how to enable automatic login, but what I'd like to do is this :
1. Disable that rather annoying "pong" sound when I select a user,
2. Set a default desktop environment. Gnome seems to be the default environment selected in the drop-down menu, but me, I'd like for it to be XFCE.
My last setup (years ago) ran fluxbox so because it was familiar I installed it as a secondary to xfce right off the bat. I download a lot of different stuff because I like to try out all the apps I can find but somewhere I broke something. I can still run fluxbox fine, but nither the Xubuntu nor Xfce sessions will run now. Last thing I remember changing was pulse audio(removed it for an experiment I was trying with jack audio), not sure if it is connected but when I try to login to xfce the screen goes black, flickers a few times then it brings me back to the login screen.
I tried failsafe but everytime I do my monitor gives me a "frequency out of range" error. I tried purging and reinstalling xubuntu desktop and xfce settings but I am thinking its my xorg config. My laptop is a Toshiba satellite M305D-s4830 with ATI Radeon 3100 mobile graphics card and I am running Xubuntu 10.10. Unfortunately I also broke the screen, so right now I am stuck with an external monitor till I get a new one.
