I have been following this thread because I have had the same problem. To recap a little, sound works fine in all the apps except the actual gtk-event sounds. Gnome control center had the appropriate blocks checked and esd showed up in the process table. After searching for the above system file I could not locate it in my ~/.gnome directory!? I did a grep -r start_esd ~ and got this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -r start_esd ~ /home/jesse/.gnome/.gnome-orig/sound/system:start_esd=true I used to have all my sound working great. I think it died after I upgraded to testing. I'm not sure though, it has been quite a while and sound hasn't been that important to me. I created the directory ~/.gnome/sound and created a symlink: mkdir ~/.gnome/sound cd ~/.gnome/sound ln -s ../.gnome-orig/sound/system system Logged out of X and back in and I'm greeted with the login.wav. I visited Gnome Control Center and everything works as before. Thanks! To throw some more variables into the mess, this is an old Progeny machine which I upgraded to testing. Could this just be a result of that or possibly a gnome upgrade bug (from 1.2 to 1.4)? Thanks again, Jesse P.S. I was not the original poster with this problem so don't let this thread die till Stan (the original poster) gets hooked up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
