Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 15608
sound starts even with "enable sound server startup" unchecked
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:57 EDT
(note: component here is a little nebulous -- could just as easily be a gnome-libs or gnomecc bug) On a fresh install of pinstripe with sound configured, logging into GNOME has the GNOME sounds actually working although gnomecc has the button for "enable sound server startup" unchecked. The button for "sounds for events" is checked though. Checking the sound server startup allows me to turn off sounds for events and then I can turn the sound server back off leaving me with a quiet gnome again, but there should be consistency in the options enabled and the options shown as being enabled :)
actually, that's a lie... just the sounds in gnomecc stopped. I went to remove a couple of the default panel apps and it started making sounds at me again. :( So, it seems that just disabling sounds for events and disabling the sound server startup aren't enough to get rid of sounds :(
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Gold-release
*** Bug 15801 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Steps I've taken to reproduce flawlessly -- - log in as root, create new account testXXX. set password for account. make sure sound is configured - log out and log back in as the test account on ttyX - startx - sounds playing, click on gnomecc launcher in panel - click on sound. note that "Enable sound server startup" is unchecked - check the enable button, uncheck sounds for events, and uncheck the enable sound server startup - click on OK - remove gnomecc launcher from panel. sound still plays
Fixed in gnome-libs-1.2.4-11
Fix works for me
