How to add the old startup sound (not login sound)?

Question

I loved that sound. But apparantly they have removed it in this new LTS. Any way to get it back?

Solution 1

To add back the startup sound click on the power menu in the top right and select Startup Applications:

Then select the Add button to add a new command and enter the following in the respective boxes:

Name: GNOME login sound

Command: /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"

Press the Add button, close the Startup Applications box and reboot to enjoy your old sound again!

Solution 2

Command:

/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"

Thanks for asking this. Enough stuff has changed. At least I can get this back.

If you could explain how he can add this back it would be more useful, thanks!

@aezzeldin would you please elaborate how to use this command to get the login sound back?

I found you had to add the -V switch with a value of at least 5 to hear it.

I had 11.10 on my netbook and uncheck this item. Recently I installed a fresh 12.04.1, so I have this item there. But it doesn't work for me now!
