shutdown sound

nopposan · 2006-08-24 01:31:42

Any ideas about how I can add a shutdown sound?

a bit cheap, but you could add a line with play /path/to/soundfile.wav to your /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc before this scripts completly exits.

Thanks. 'Sorry for taking so long to reply. I may try that method in future, but for now I've discovered that the BIOS plays a little midi notification for us that's just fine.

BTW 'Trying out Xubuntu 6.06.1 now.

Hi, I installed Xubuntu 6 days ago. Can you tell me where do I find this file called BIOS? I'd like to use the midi notification. Thank you.

I think he was referring to his BIOS/CMOS on his motherboard? Either way this topic is several years old and the member is probably long gone, you could try libcanberra... it produces action/event sounds for GTK.

Please, help me. Forgive my ignorance, I'm new with this. I downloaded libcanberra, but I don't know how to install it. Can somebody tell me the steps I have to take? Thank you. :oops:

The package should be available from your Distro package manager, install it via that and you should have some Sound Settings. I don't recall exactly where, but it may be under Window Manager Settings or WM Tweaks.

I did everything, downloaded and installed it via Distro package manager, but I don't find the Sound Settings anywhere. They aren't under Window Manager Settings or WM Tweaks, I've been looking for them everywhere. Oh, and I found some sound settings on "Appearance" and checked "enable event sounds" but it doesn't work. :cry:

Hrm, that should be correct then (Enable Sound Events). Check the home page for more info on using it or what for someone else to chime in, I don't use sound events hmm
