[Bug 322192] Re: ubuntu causes problems when installing at night (loud login sound with no way to avoid it)

[Terence Simpson]

Neither the topic or the description say anything about disabling the
notification "BEFORE" logging it

** Summary changed:

- ubuntu causes problems when installing at night (loud login sound with no way to avoid it)
+ Login sound can not be disabled before login

** Description changed:

- "DU DU DUUMM DUUM DU! du du dummmmmmmmmmmm."
+ The login notification sound can not be disabled before logging in, ie
+ in KDM.
  
- This are, in fact, not the sounds of tribal people attacking our
- village;
- 
- Instead, this are the sounds of Ubuntu awaking entire house / home /
- neighborhood, right after installation (actually, after first login).
- 
- This sounds like a trivial problem, and it indeed should be trivial to
- fix - if we do not want to surprise at least some users in this
- unpleasant way.
- 
- 1. Just select a shorter&quieter sound as the login sound
- 2. (more complex) add option to stf^H to mute in the login manager
- 
- Btw, many computers do not allow to lower this unpleasant noise even if
- user is suspecting this attack (example: laptop, and now function key
- for volume-down).
+ This can cause an issue on some computers that do not allow to lower the
+ volume before login, for example on some laptop systems where there is
+ no physical volume dial.
