RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 7 Wim Taymans 2018-11-30 08:51:11 UTC 
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.
Comment 8 Wim Taymans 2018-11-30 15:31:34 UTC 
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
