Ubuntu :: Login Sound Will Not Disable

May 21, 2010

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 :: 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?

General :: Disable Boot Up And Login Sound In Ubuntu 10.04?

Jul 1, 2010

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.

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.

OpenSUSE :: Login Sound / Libcanberra Not Working

Mar 31, 2011

In case you don't already know, I'm running 11.4 x64 with GNOME. I had a realization recently that my computer doesn't make any login or logoff sounds. After some investigation, I've found there are two problems:

1) The command for the login sound defaults to a sound that doesn't exist; the id is "desktop- login", but no desktop-login.oga exists in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo. There does exist service-login.oga, however.

2) Even with explicitly setting the path on canberra-gtk-play, no sound plays. The command hangs for a couple seconds and produces no errors, suggesting that it does find the sound, but nothing comes out of the speakers.

I'm not terribly desperate to get login sounds working, but I am confused about why this wouldn't work out of the box.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 How To Disable Automatic Login

Aug 24, 2010

My laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 insists on automatically logging me in without asking for my password. The only thing is, I've disabled auto login and it shouldn't be doing that.

When I first boot up Ubuntu all I have to do is select my username, no password required to log in. I want the login screen to prompt me for my password for better security.

Here are the settings I already have:

System - Administration - Login screenSet to "show the screen for choosing who will log in"

System - Administration - Users and GroupsI am the only user I have an Administrator level account "Don't ask for password on login" is unchecked, i.e. it should ask for my password on login. If I create a new user with the same settings, that user gets asked for its password. But I don't.

Surely this should be enough to disable automatic login.

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 :: Disable GDM/Graphical Login In Lucid?

May 8, 2010

It used to be that this was a service that could just be disabled in System>Preferences>Startup Services, but this is no longer the case it seems. I've tried tinkering with the runlevels in gdm.conf, but haven't had any success with it so far. I've tried commenting out the startup code in the gdm.conf as well. Also no luck.

Most of what I've found are older guides for Karmic and earlier, so if anyone has a more up-to-date solution for how to disable the gdm so I can auto-login to a terminal in Lucid

Ubuntu :: Disable Login Music In Maverick?

Oct 21, 2010

No matter how many times I press the mute button on my laptop, when I turn it on I get the drums, and when I login I get the music -- at least 2 seconds of it before the mute button will respond. This is not great for turning on the laptop in a quiet lecture hall! I googled for some solutions to this problem, and none of the suggested pathways seem to work with Maverick: System>Preferences>Sound no longer has the option to choose the login sound "System>Administration>Login Screen" has a checkbox labeled "Play login sound," but I have it unchecked and the login sound plays regardless. Is there any way to turn off the login sound in Maverick so I can turn on my computer in peace?

Ubuntu Security :: Cannot Disable Auto Login?

I have tried everything to disable automatic login from the login screen (gdm). I've changed my password, I've changed the settings in System -> Admin ->Login Screen, and I've edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf (gdm.conf doesn't exist, but I created it just in case!).No auto login is set up, but I can't get it to ask for my password. This is affecting my ability to switch sessions, as I can't switch sessions without clicking on my name in gdm, and because it's set to auto login,

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 Multimedia :: Sound Stops Working After 1-5 Mins Of Playing Sound?

Dec 14, 2010

Playing a song works at first; then it quits after 1-5 minutes. If you select a different output device, it will work for another 1-5 minutes, but switching back to an already used up device will not play sound. Running 'sudo killall pulseaudio' resets everything and each output device works for another 1-5 minutes. This is on on 9.10.

Code:

lspci -v
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 02)
Subsystem: EPoX Computer Co., Ltd. Device 4002

Ubuntu / Apple :: Sound Stopped Working, IEC958 Light Turns On Instead Of Sound Playing?

Jan 30, 2011

The sound stopped working on my Macbook Pro 1,1. It was working fine before, and I can't think of any changes I made that would make it stop working. I know it's not a hardware problem because the Apple sound plays when I turn on the computer. Everything is unmuted in ALSA Mixer. None of the hardware options in Sound Preferences produce sound. Plugging in headphones or speakers does not solve the problem. I'm using 10.10.One curiosity: Whenever I do something that would normally cause sound to play, the optical audio red light in the headphone jack turns on, but no sound plays.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Remove/disable Automatic Login Option

Jul 5, 2010

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. I've created two user accounts, one for admin purposes and the other for standard users. At boot up, I have the option to pick one of the created accounts or select "automatic login." When I select automatic login, it logs me into the admin account. I've double checked that the "don't ask for password" option is not selected on either account.

The only thing unusual that I did was select the "don't ask for password" option during the install, and then later (after the install was complete) decided that's not what I wanted and unchecked it.

I need to accomplish one of two things. Either change it so the auto login applies to the standard user account, or remove the auto login option from the login screen altogether.
