After I went from 2.22 to 2.24 yesterday, Gnome decided it liked music on startup and now plays two startup sounds at once:

The old one I used to have before, and the new one that I haven't heard before 2.24.

In the audio settings, I can only see/select/deselect the new one. There's an entry in the session that plays the new sound:
Code:
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"

But there's nothing I can identify as being responsible for playing the old one.

I tried revdep-rebuild, delete the .gnome2-folder, reboot,... nothing helps.

Any ideas what could control the old startup sound and how to get rid of it?

The package name for the sounds changed, so the old one wasn't uninstalled.

NEW = x11-themes/sound-themes-freedesktop
OLD = gnome-extra/gnome-audio

gnome-audio was left behind entact so you get two sounds. Just run `emerge -C gnome-audio` and restart x / xdm / gdm. That should do the trick.

It did. Works now. Thank you!


(Shouldn't these packages block each other when upgrading? Or isn't it a blocking situation technically?)

It's not a block but portage message would be nice.

I'll file a bug on that.

@benny1967 - You're welcome

@szczerb - Thanks for volunteering on the bug report! The dev's should be able to work some ebuild magic to remove the old gnome-sounds when sound-themes-freedesktop is installed.

I think that a message would be enough (and users should learn to read them :roll: ). Anyway the bug is here:
