[opensuse-gnome] 11.4 Gome system sounds disabled as default
Dears, As per 11.2 I noticed again that 11.4 keeps on stay "mute" in terms of system sounds (login, logout, alerts,...) Differently by KDE 4.5 and 4.6 wherein such feature is enabled as default. Wonder if it is a design choice and if are planned changes. This is not an important issue nor a bug, but I guess that especially for newer users of openSUSE it would be better to have a more interactive desktop which responds with sounds to the user actions.

The sound theme we have explicitly disable some sounds (login & logout, at least). Nobody came with good sounds to use instead, so it's still this way.

Vincent, Are you aware if there's a wiki page with information about those sounds? What kind of sounds would you like? There's a 'hang-arounder' in #opensuse-pt which has some skills in sound editing, I could easilly nag him to provide the missing sounds... Just point the tech specs/format in what they should be submitted and we might see that happen. NM

http://0pointer.de/public/sound-naming-spec.html I don't know what I would like; I'm happy the current way. As long as the songs are good (which is subjective, true), we can add them. And even better, we can submit them upstream.

I slightly disagree. I believe the login sounds (along with wallpaper) should be unique to the distro. It helps in easy identification of the distro. I remember seeing some video interview where Miguel correctly spots a Windows-XP login sound, Intel's music is also unique. We should have some kind of unique music which upstream will probably not care much about, as every distro will want their own login sound, theme, wallpapers. (yes gnome3 first release will be an exception) Sankar http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I totally agree with Sankar: a distro without system sounds beside appearing crude, it looks like incomplete!

Hi Vincent, I found Novell sound Theme not ugly at all and it play automatically at login while with default Sonar I had to configure a start-up script using canberra. "/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --volume=0,02 --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login" -f /usr/share/sounds/Fresh_and_Clean/stereo/desktop-login.ogg" Terrible workaround!!!
