Sound or no sound, there needs to be some positive feedback indicating that the shutdown happened normally.
As a user, I would freak out if I hit the shutdown button and then 300ms later the screen went black. A short sound could be useful, something like the counterpoint to the "rattle" you hear when the login box is shown. I think that, if it is necessary, making efforts to ensure the shutdown takes at least 1500ms is not insane. The worst thing you can do is make it look or sound like something unusal just happened. -- Shutdown sound is truncated https://launchpad.net/bugs/61530 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
