Hi. I have bit of a sound question with regards to gdm. Recently I did a fresh install of a GNU/Linux system (Debian) running GNOME 2.14. All went well except that I configured the Login Window (from my "Desktop->Administration" menu) for 1) timed login and 2) play the "generic.wav" sound file (in /usr/share/sounds) when the login screen is ready. My system is running alsa and all sound applications (like xmms, totem, etc.) work just fine. In fact, my session runs esound (esd) and all my gnome sounds play fine (ie. when I select a menu or press a button, etc.) GDM, however, does not play the sound file I selected. Would anyone have any idea why gdm would not play sound? When gdm comes up (after a logout or a boot up), it only makes the "computer sound" (from the computer cpu) but no sound to the speakers. A simple explanation as to what gdm does to play a sound would help greatly! Thanks very much -- Sincerely Jose Alburquerque _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
