<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/<your distro>/stereo</cmd> where <your distro> 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>
