우분투 8.10에서 로그아웃, 종료음 듣(Howto Enable system sound in Ubuntu Intrepid)

The package libcanberra installed by default in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) is version 0.6 , it seems to be obsolete and causes the system sound to work ineffectively, the following three steps will solve this problem.

Step 1: Install the newer libcanberra

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list file using the following command

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add the following lines at the bottom

# PPA for Gert Kulyk (to fix system sound problem)
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gkulyk/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gkulyk/ubuntu intrepid main

then update the repository

sudo apt-get update

after that, update manager will prompt updates for libcanberra, just install all of them and reboot.

Step 2: Enable system sound

open System -> Preferences -> Sound Effects -> Sound Effects , check the ‘Play alerts and sound effects’, and assign the sounds for every particular sound effects, now the system sound should work normally.

Step 3: Enable shutdown/logout sound

Although we enable the sound effects, however the logout sound is still missing, the solution is:

open /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default

sudo gedit /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default

add the following line before ‘exit 0′ and then save the file

/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id=”desktop-logout”

now, you could hear the shutdown/logout sound when you shutdown/logout Ubuntu.
