[SOLVED] LMDE UP4 Latest: Login Sound gone

[The Diamond Geezer]

Hello,

I upgraded successfully from UP3 to UP4 with no big issues. The one thing I have noticed is that the Login Sound has been disabled, and I don't know how to reactivate it. I cannot find a "Login Sound" entry within Services. The only info I could find was how to either disable or change the login sound, how can I restore it?

Thanks!

Try adding this command to your list of Startup Applications:

aplay /usr/share/sounds/linuxmint-login.wav

It works for me.

Hello bdantas,

Thanks for your answer. Sorry for asking such a stupid question, where do i find the list of startup applications in Gnome Shell so I can edit it?

Cheers

I'm sorry, Diamond Geezer, but the only DE I've ever used is Gnome2 (and now MATE). I have no experience with Gnome Shell whatsoever

No problem bdantas, I'll investigate and I'll post here as soon as I find an answer

I found how to restore the login sound.

In dconf Editor, org -> gnome -> desktop -> sound, in "theme-name", change the default "freedesktop" to "LinuxMint", and you're set!

Thank you.

Or in terminal

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name 'LinuxMint'
