I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Lenovo G550. I noticed that Ubuntu disabled the startup sound played after login (I love it). I did some Googling and found on UbuntuGeek that we have to add this command
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id=”desktop-login” --description=”GNOME Login sound”
to Startup Applications. I did that but I still don't hear the sound.
Ubuntu 12.04 promised to add a brand new startup sound : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgAj_gJ-TXA.
But its not there in the final release. There's no sound at all! I now know how to restore the old sounds back thanks to this question : How to add the old startup sound (not login sound)?
But my question is, how to add the new (or any other custom) startup sound to Ubuntu?
This tutorial shows how to turn off gnome login sound or adjust the volume when Ubuntu startup.
1.To turn off login sound,go to System->Preferences->Startup Applications.In Startup Programs tab scroll down to find out “GNOME Login Sound” and uncheck it.

I installed ubuntu 11.10 4 days ago. When I login into my account the startup/login sound does not play. But when I logged in with a guest account, the sound plays. This is happening since I installed ubuntu 11.10, I never heard the login sound when I log into my account. And by the way, this is a fresh install. Please help.

I have read questions on Changing startup sound in Ubuntu and Changing startup music in Ubuntu.
I understand how to rename 'desktop-login.ogg' and copy the sound I want as 'desktop-login.ogg'.
