- <title>Turn-off or change the login sound</title>
+ <title>Disable or Change Login Sound</title>
+ <p>
+ When you login to your system, a default login sound is played. You can easily disable it, or even change it to your favorite sound.
+ </p>
+ <p>To disable the login sound:</p>
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Click on <gui>Activities</gui> to enter the overview, and type <input>startup applications</input>. Click on the application icon, and the <gui>Startup Applications Preferences</gui> window opens.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Click on the <gui>Startup Programs</gui> tab.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Uncheck <gui>GNOME Login Sound</gui>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Click <gui>Close</gui>.
+</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>
+ To change the login sound, make sure the above <gui>GNOME Login Sound</gui> is checked. Then follow these steps:
+ </p>
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ <link xref="search">Search for file</link> desktop-login.ogg in the folder <gui>File System</gui>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The file location will show in the <gui>Search results</gui>. The file should be located in <cmd>usr/share/sound/&lt;your distro&gt;/stereo</cmd> where &lt;your distro&gt; is a file named Ubuntu, Freedesktop or other.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Right-click on the file name, and click on <gui>Open Folder</gui>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Find and <link xref="files-renaming">rename</link> the original file <file>desktop-login.ogg</file> to <file>desktop-login-original.ogg</file> for backup.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ <link xref="files-copy">Copy</link> the sound file you prefer in ogg format to the above folder and name the file as <file>desktop-login.ogg</file>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+<p>
+ Log out and log back in and the new login sound will be in effect.
+</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+ <note>
+ <p>
+ You can change the default logout sound in the same way as described above. You would need to rename the original file <file>desktop-logout.ogg</file> to <file>desktop-logout-original.ogg</file> for backup. Then copy the sound file you prefer (in ogg format) to the above mentioned folder, and name the file as <file>desktop-logout.ogg</file>.

<p>Instructions on turning off the sound that is made when the user logs in. Mention how to change it too, and how to make it quieter.</p>
