I've just started using a machine without a hard disk. It's suddenly much more difficult to work out what state it's in when resuming after suspend, rebooting etc. I would like to add a few auditory indicators for key and common steps (like these). The boot-up earcon wouldn't b necessary *if* I could get gdm to come up talking but that isn't working under my fedora 20 system. It's also important that whatever I do doesn't finish up with someone else (probably root) owning the sound hardware and locking out the pulseaudio instance I will soon start up. Adding an rc.local file to /etc/rc.d with an aplay something-or-other should work for boot. The resume-after-suspend is harder I think. I need to ensure, for example, that pulseaudio is in a good state for playing sound. I presume this is managed by acpi event handling? Has anyone else tried this? thanks in advance Peter -- Peter Rayner room 343 School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne, 3010, Vic, Australia tel: work: +61 (0)3 8344 9708; fax: +61 (0)3 8344 7761 mobile +61 402 752 379, skype: petermorag mail-to: prayner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx google scholar profile <http://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=H3up71wAAAAJ&hl=en> _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
