Hi,

I use Lenny on my Dell Inspiron 640m laptop. The beep that GDM throws
with the login screen has been a source of embarrasment in classrooms
many times. How do I disable it?

Thanks,
Girish.

Doesn't help. I disabled the system beep there (also switched off
all other sounds) but GDM still beeps.

Humm.. maybe adding SoundOnLogin=false to your gdm.conf ?

Simple ways to solve this:

1. Before you shutdown the desktop mute the sound using the mixer app.

2. If your laptop has physical sound controls on it, before GDM starts
press he mute button or set the volume to minimum.

Yes, I think that should do it. For a GUI way, run (as root) gdmsetup and see
the "Accessibility" tab for sound options.

Try disabling the sound in system/administration/login window/ on the
tab Accessibility
