+
+ +

+ Click on the Startup Programs tab. +

+
+ +

+ Uncheck GNOME Login Sound. +

+

+ Click Close. +

+
+ +

+ To change the login sound, make sure the above GNOME Login Sound is checked. Then follow these steps: +

+ + +

+ Search for file desktop-login.ogg in the folder File System. +

+
+ +

+ The file location will show in the Search results. The file should be located in usr/share/sound/<your distro>/stereo where <your distro> is a file named Ubuntu, Freedesktop or other. +

+
+ +

+ Right-click on the file name, and click on Open Folder. +

+
+ +

+ Find and rename the original file desktop-login.ogg to desktop-login-original.ogg for backup. +

+
+ +

+ Log out and log back in and the new login sound will be in effect. +
