Sound/welcome notification?

[Wheel Inventor]

Testing with the Kubuntu CI



Seems to work. At here the sound is played during the KDE splash.

I would say...

I would say plasma 5.4 - the 5.3 branch doesn't have it: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kd...v=Plasma%2F5.3




5.3: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kd...v=Plasma%2F5.3

Master: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kd...er/startup.cpp






KDE Schedules: https://techbase.kde.org/Schedules
--> Plasma 5 Schedules: https://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5

Is there a way to look at the bug and tell in which version of Plasma the fix will land?

[ksmserver] Bring back the login sound

Now it's played in its own thread, so should not block anything.

Not sure of the status of this feature from the link

Not yet decided for certain? Looks like there has been some interest in turning the sound off by default but leaving a user-option to turn it on.

Now this may really sound "out there," but I like the sound because it slows me down to let the desktop fully load (or do whatever it does to be ready for user actions). If you (or I should say, I) try to do something too quickly (like open Firefox), there is a delay before it fully responds. If I wait for the notification music to end, the desktop and apps seem ready for clicking. (Excuse for such a silly post: I just woke up, first cup of tea, starting to run some laundry here.)

But I think it is isomorphic to a circle, the bijective mapping being the obvious one from center along radii. Besides, the Flinstones would have used his wheel for their carts. Well, maybe Fred would have.

Boy, I'm sure it's there, but I can't find it, and it's stuck in my head to do.

Upon booting into Kubuntu (14.04), you enter your P/W, it loads, and at the end, you come to the Desktop screen. At that point, you can get a little sound/music notification that you are there and it is ready. Where in the dickens under Settings do you turn that sound on? (Mine, obviously, is off.)
