Yaru: No system-ready sound

[iainlane]

ubiquity (the Ubuntu installer) tries to play 'system-ready' to indicate to visually impared users that the system is ready - so they can start the screen reader or whatever they need.

Unfortunately yaru-theme-sound doesn't ship this sound. This means that we broke it when we switch from the old ubuntu-sounds theme.

This is cross-posted from Launchpad.

@madsrh, could you have a look at this?

Could we symlink the desktop-login.ogg (which isn't in use)?

[clobrano]

It sounds good to me (no pun intended :D)

Lol and 👍 can you create the symlink?

I wonder if it's too long compared to the short 1s drumroll.

Is this only played in ubiquity or at every boot? 🤔 (I can't test atm)

uhm, good question

I might be doing something wrong. I both symlinked and copied the file giving the name "system-ready.oga", but it does not play using the command

$ /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="system-ready"                                                                                                                  
Failed to play sound: File or data not found

This one works instead

$ /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="system-ready" -f /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/system-ready.oga

here the full content of the sound folder

any idea?

[madsrh]

There's some issue with the path, because if I move the file to /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.oga it works just fine 🤔

[clobrano]

I wonder if I was in Yaru or Ubuntu session when I tested. Probably the path is session-name dependent

[clobrano]

Report what @seb told me on IRC for future reference:

the sound theme/system-ready thing, the path used for lookup is $XDG_DATA_DIRS/sounds

btw, now it works with the symlink in both Ubuntu and Yaru session (which is normal). I was probably doing something wrong
