I thougth this was supposed to happen. (so blind users know when to login, etc.) Maybe we don't really want it though. On Fedora Core 1, gdm-2.4.4.5-1, this happens too Sorry, I didn't read the previous comment. Maybe the could be an option in gdm.conf to set the beep, or a .wav to play. Here's a small patch to gdm-2.4.4.5-1 which solely fulfils the purpose of making the beep on login configurable (no fancy sound samples etc.). It introduces a new option called "BeepOnPrompt" in the "[greeter]" section of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, which defaults to "yes" when omitted or commented out. The option is not integrated in the graphical configuration tool "gdmsetup", though. Created attachment 95892 [details]
Patch for making the login beep configurable.
*** Bug 113258 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sound support is configurable as of gdm-2.5.90.0 (see GNOME Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125487). Another vote for getting rid of this beep (or making it a configuration choice). The beep is quite loud and annoying on my IBM Thinkpad T21 This *is* a configuration choice -- check the Accessability tab of the GDM configuration tool (aka System Settings -> Login Screen). You can turn it off, or make it a different sound. Possible the default should be something prettier than a beep (which sounds like an error) -- but that's a different issue. For the record, and for those who run different desktops, you can run gdmsetup to start this gui directly. Or, you can directly edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and change #SoundOnLogin=true to SoundOnLogin=false |
