After reading another thread about no startup sounds, I decided to adjust my own sound settings, the result is that I have lost the login sound which was working perfectly and the “Default” setting under “Choose an alert sound” has now become the “Drip” sound. I ran a “Live” copy of Core 15.2 on my computer and got the same result. If you work your way down the list of “Alert Sounds” and then back to the top of the list, the “Default” has changed to the “Drip”, so I now have two drip noises instead of one.
I have installed “Gnome Tweaks” and used the “Reset to defaults” option, but the problem remains. Not sure if there is something I could do via the terminal.
Have you tried disabling startup sound and re-enabling but do it between re-boots?
Apologies for the joke about Italian Plumbers - I actually did a search for Plumbers’ vans and an Italian Plumber actually has that vehicle!
I looked in Computer | usr | bin | and the canberra bit is not a directory but some sort of command. Now the question is, where is "desktop-login" located!
I know where the sound file is, if that is what you are referring to.
The login sound is just a casualty of the main problem which is a misconfiguration of the system sounds, once that is fixed by the developers the login sound should return.
