Those seeking a GUI workaround, there is a solution! You just need to pick a different sound theme. Unfortunately there's next to no selection, but you can install the package sound-theme-freedesktop (the one Fedora uses), which is VERY tastefully done. Ubuntu's is a tad out of date vs. Fedora (no pop sound when you adjust volume, mainly), but the login sound is recorded at a sane volume and a bit shorter.
Right now there's a big chunk of GUI to configure the alert sound from the sound preferences. Seems a bit arbitrary; definitely could use some review to decide which sound options are most important to people. Maybe a nice way to fix this would be to identify the priority of sounds done via Canberra and give the user an option for whether he wants low priority ones. -- No GUI to configure/disable login sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
