Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 (with Gnome Shell) with Gnome 3.14. And I currently have the default alert sound "Drip", however I wanted to change to "Sonar", so I went into "Settings > Sound > Sound effects", and I tried just selecting the new sound I wanted and then closing the window. That did not work so I tried going back and doubling-clicking, right-clicking, etc... Nothing worked though...
I then tried it the command-line way, so I ran: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name Which outputted: 'freedesktop' So I then ran: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name 'sonar' And checked that: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name Outputted: 'Sonar' And it did, but still, no change, still the "Drip" sound... --- OS Information: No LSB modules are available.
