Sound effects

[2canchu]

Could someone tell me how to change the logon sounds(etc..). I'm using Ultimate Edition 2.7. I just realized today that it can be done on Ubuntu 6.06. Anyone still remember that one? Every aspect. Anything you want as long as it's a wave file and I think ogg. works too. I have some interesting sounds I've been collecting over a period of time and I would like to vary a few things from time to time. Anyone? I'm sure there's a way. After all the sounds are not the same as 10.04 which it is based on.

Actually to have a "Welcome" sound at the log in window in 10.04 an 10.10 you have to replace the, system-ready.ogg in the usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo folder,with a file with the same name and extension,.oog Then after login is confirmed your file should be, desktop-login.wav in any new sound folder you install.
To install a new sound in the ubuntu stereo folder and to install a new sound folder in sounds.
Open terminal run the command

Code: Select all

gksudo nautilus

Enter your password, and navigate to your new sound and or sounds folder, copy and past to usr/share/sounds, be sure to check permissions of the folder and enclosed stereo folder (Others and Group to "Access files")
Then open sound preferences and choose your new sounds, the login "Welcome" will automatically pull from the ubuntu sounds folder by default ! after that the desktop login and system sounds will pull from the sound you have chosen in preferences ! Hope this helps!
