Description of problem: error message in the logs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qf /usr/share/gnome/autostart/libcanberra-login-sound.desktop libcanberra-gtk3-0.30-5.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: on every boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: no login sound, error message logged Expected results: play the sound Additional info: seems to be a regression, or somehow connected to other problems with gdm ?
The reason is that no process ever uploads the 'desktop-login' sample to pulseaudio. I'm not quite sure what process did or should do that, I will ask around.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, we ship the "freedesktop" sound theme by default. This sound theme is intentionally streamlined to avoid introducing too many distractions to the user. As you've noticed, one of the sound events not covered by this sound theme is the login sound. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, we don't currently support any other sound themes officially. There are third party sound themes that do provide the requested sound event at gnome-look.org and other third party sites, but those themes aren't recommended for the best Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 user experience. To install just a custom desktop-login sound, the recommendation is to place or copy a sound file as /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/desktop-login.oga
