Change Login/Startup Sound - Ubuntu 10.10

This video is on how to change the login sound. We all get tired of the default login sound at some point. All you have to do, is get an .ogg file, open nautilus (sudo nautilus), copy the .ogg file to usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo.

Next step is to go to System-Preferences-Startup Applications and then find the GNOME login sound, press Edit and change the command
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="your file name" --description="GNOME Login"
after that, you're good to go!

Some people may have to go to properties-permissions and change the Acces to ''read and write'' and ''read only''.

Hi, i lost my start sound & i made all the things you mentioned in this video but still no sound, would you mind helping me?

Thanks in advance

@mentex70 Now, did you try the part in the vid, where I go to properties-permissons and select ''read and write''?

Oh and I have Lil' Jon saying "Yeahhhh" when I get a message on empathy. I took a sound clip of Lil' Jon saying that, converted it with audacity, and moved it/replace "/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ster­eo/message-new-instant.ogg".  I always forget that I replaced that so I'll be doing something and all of a sudden Lil' Jon is shouting at me from my pc...it scares the hell out of me everytime lol

@america0014 Hahahaah! I always choose the ones where i almost jump to the roof when the sound plays lol.

Thanks for a couple good tips: how to run Nautilus in su mode, as well as how to set the login sound. I think you may need to do both the copying and the pasting of the file within the same Nautilus session launched by the "sudo nautilus" command. Alternatively, since you are already running commands in a terminal, it may be faster to just type:

sudo cp [path and file name of ogg file] /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stere­o

You can use tab complete to help finish each subdirectory name.

@bmw328driver Great comment. The way I show it is a bit easier for new Linux users. Just so they don't get all frightened about all the terminal commands - As I've said before: there's a hundred different ways to do stuff in Linux. So its great, that you tell another way lol. Cheers mate!

Any idea on how to get the sound back to working on ubuntu 10.10 for zynaddsubfx? It worked mere hours ago while I was on 10.04 but after the upgrade, no sound at all. If you could please show how to fix this then I would love you forever

I have Ubuntu 11.10 but when i start up my computer the startup sound doesn't play. what the problem?

[legendmma]

Where do you get that start up sound?

[Estonian7]

Search for Assassins creed 2 Ezio's family soundtrack.

My startup:) from 0.00 to 1.08...

[Sprollucy]

How can i make the start up sound last longer? I want it to play for 30 seconds

[CodyKhaos]

thanks for the upload. although i found it way easier just to rename the new sound desktop login and delete the old sound.

[PastorEbolden]

Can this procedure be used for Mint 10 as well because I can't seem to get my sound working in Mint 10?

[DJAPPL3]

[wannie424]
