Ubuntu – Get first Ubuntu startup sound in 14.04

14.04soundstartup

I've seen that Ubuntu had two startup sounds, and if you make a startup app that executes the command /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login" , or just execute it in terminal, it plays the new startup sound (before 11.04).

I want to play the old one from 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake. Is it still in 14.04 or will I have to download the sound? Then how can I make it play? Here's the sound I'm talking about.

How can I also get the shutdown sound too?

Best Answer

You can download the zipped sounds from my dropbox.

The startup sound is a .wav, you can convert it to a .ogg using VLC or Audacity. The shutdown sound is already a .ogg.

To change it, please look at How do I change the start up sound? or How can I change some of the system sounds?

The shutdown sound in the zip above is corrupted.
I have uploaded a correct version of the shutdown sound both .ogg and .mp3 files. Download here.

My Process

  1. I searched Google for 'Ubuntu 6.06 startup sound' and got this youtube link.
  2. I used Youtube To Mp3 by MediaHuman to download the mp3 version of the sound.
  3. I used audacity to convert the Mp3 to a .ogg.
