How to disable (or change) the logout sound in gnome/GDM?
Dear all,
The logout sound is a very ugly beep.* I can change the login sound in gdm.conf but can not find where the logout sound setting is.* I also put pcspkr module in the blacklist, no effect.
Best regards,
Yuwen

Various solutions (the first one works on some machines, but not
everywhere, and I don't know why):
1. "xset -b" in your .xsession or whatever is run (this will disable
the beep also in other applications, which is fine, IMHO).
2. With gdm, set SoundOnLogin=false in "/etc/gdm/gdm.conf".
3. With gdm3, the /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults config file can be
changed to have:

Actually, after some tests, (1) is unrelated. On one machine,
gdm3 no longer beeps even though I have
/desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds true
in /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults and I do not use "xset -b"
(e.g. the beep works in Emacs).
"gconftool -g /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds" outputs false, so
that there may be something else. I'm happy with that, though.

Hi Vincent,
xset -b* works.* Thanks.

2. With gdm, set SoundOnLogin=false in "/etc/gdm/gdm.conf".
I've already set this, this is no effect.* In fact, the beep only occurs when I shutdown the computer in gnome.* It doesn't beep when I login or logout.
