Yes - unless you change the default theme System Settings => Notifications => System Notifications => Applications => Sytem Notification Configuration:- Event Source = KDE System Notifications Login = Play Sound Default sound is KDE-Sys-Log-In-Short.ogg You can modify the default sound or change it to an action (including speech). NOTE: check:- System Settings => Notifications => System Bell => unselect "Use System Bell instead of System Notification" (the bell uses motherboard speaker which may not work). And also check:- System Settings => Notifications => System Notifications => Player Settings => ensure you have selected "Use the KDE Sound System". Check the existence of the default sound (for login):- $ ls /usr/share/sounds/ | grep KDE-Sys-Log-In-Short.ogg Check notify settings:- $ cat ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc If it still doesn't work, but your sound system does, check:- ~/.xsessions-errors for clues (look for a line calling the start up sound eg. KDE-Sys-Log-In-Short.ogg) > If not default behavior could it be arranged for that to happen? Yes - you can change the System Settings as above. Alternatively you can install beep and call it at login by a number of methods. <snipped> Cheers -- "People in the United Kingdom and outside the United States share my bemusement with the United States that America doesn’t share with itself.
