Description Jesse Keating 2006-03-05 02:59:01 UTC

Enabling sounds, and then disabling sounds leaves a custom.conf that still plays
sounds.

I used gdmsetup to enable sounds for Ready, Successful, and Failed.  The sounds
worked, but due to bug 184024 I wanted to disable the sounds, so I unchecked the
sound boxes.  This left my custom.conf with:

SoundOnLogin=false
SoundOnLoginFile=/usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav
SoundOnLoginSuccessFile=/usr/share/sounds/info.wav
SoundOnLoginFailureFile=/usr/share/sounds/email.wav

The only sound that played after this was the LoginSuccess.  In order to stop
that from playing I had to comment out all 4 lines.  (maybe didn't need all 4,
haven't nailed it down yet).  Then no sounds at all.

So either gdm isn't reading the custom.conf file correctly, or gdmsetup isn't
cleaning up the file correctly.

adding to fc7target

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2007-04-20 15:48:28 UTC

hmm, I can't get sound to work at all in gdm

Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2007-04-20 16:39:33 UTC

Yeah, I haven't tried for a long time.  The problem may have changed.

I also disabled sounds due to esd getting really confused when I go from say
work to home and my ip address changes.  esd will completely get lost in the
weeds and prevent new windows from showing on the desktop until I kill -9 esd. 
But alas, that's a different problem.

The upstream bug has been closed, so I assume this is better now.
