I loved that sound. But apparantly they have removed it in this new LTS. Any way to get it back?

To add back the startup sound click on the power menu in the top right and select Startup Applications:

Then select the Add button to add a new command and enter the following in the respective boxes:

Name: GNOME login sound

Command: /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"

enter image description here

Press the Add button, close the Startup Applications box and reboot to enjoy your old sound again!

  • I had 11.10 on my netbook and uncheck this item. Recently I installed a fresh 12.04.1, so I have this item there. But it doesn't work for me now! Sep 28, 2012 at 19:44
