Public bug reported: I hope this is the right package to report this on. The startup sounds in Edgy are nowhere near as nice as the ones we had in previous releases. I don't want to disrespect the author, who I think did a good job considering it was (as I understand it) a community contribution, but the old sounds were much more relaxing, professional and above all *memorable*. Also, they didn't have any corny symbals in them. Can we have them back?
I think keeping the startup sound consistent will improve the marketing of Ubuntu as an operating system - people will associate it with the sound, just as they do with Windows. I remember the interview with Mark that was shown on English TV focused on the (old) startup sound as something that users might be hearing more and more in place of the annoying Windows startup sound. ** Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- please revert startup sounds https://launchpad.net/bugs/72143 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
