Slackware64 Current Login Sound

[Jimmy Johnson]

Slackware64 Current Login Sound has stopped working.

Tested on 3 different machines.

Logout sound still works. Systemsettings setup seems to be okay.

Probably alsa upgrades caused problem.

While logged in and with working sound, have you tried to in a shell su
to root and run:

alsactl store

?

The above command will store your alsa mixer settings to get loaded at
next boot. (At least this works for Slackware 14.2)

What alsa mixer?

"alsactl store" seems to do nothing.

"alsactl store ?" does not find sound card.

tested on 2 systems, the same on both.

With pulseaudio installed why using alsa?

Thanks,

If it doesn't throw an error (alsactl: command not found) then
it silently did its job, and stored the current sound
settings to file to be recalled on reboot.

(The ? was part of the question, "have you tried" <x> "?"

When I say, seems to do nothing it means there is still no login sound.
I'll wait for slackware to fix it or someone who knows what the problem
is and how to fix it.

Thanks,

Probably alsa upgrades caused problem.

Here's a update and a temp workaround. Name: mysyssoundstartscript.sh

#!/bin/bash
MYSOUNDSDIR=${MYSOUNDSDIR:-"/usr/share/sounds"}
cd $MYSOUNDSDIR

/usr/bin/sleep 3
/usr/bin/ogg123 ./Oxygen-Sys-Log-In-Long.ogg

copy the above into kwrite and save it to your home folder as
mysyssoundstartscript.sh now close the the file and right click and
choose Properties, Permissions and check 'Is executable' and in
systemsettings add to startup. Log out and back in, you should hear sound.

Seems to have infected all systems using Plasma 5.24 and not just a
Slackware problem.

Oxygen sounds and systemsettings upgraded, plasma version upgraded to
5.25.0 and login sounds still not working. The above workaround above
still works.

Wow! This was 8 months ago, "login sounds" are now working as they
should, Yay!
