I'm looking to install some ear candy at startup. I read a post that reminded me of the startup sound that Knoppix used which, I think, they stole from Star Trek. It is the 'Initiating Startup Sequence' file. How early in the boot or login process can I get it going?

Searching it on google, it was recommended to make a script with just this line: mplayer startup.ogg However, I don't know how to make a proper script or where to place it. Right now, I can't find the place that I changed the setting from in the first place. I thought it was under 'Configure Desktop' but it's not. As it is, the sound comes after I have a completely functioning desktop. In other words, it is the last thing to happen. In KDE it's in 'Configure Desktop/Applications and System Notifications/KDE Workspace.

No need for a script. Can't help with that particular sound.Thanks. I couldn't find that again because I missed the drop down list that had KDE Workspace in it.

However, the issue still remains. I have the sound, and it works, but it comes as the last thing in start up. For example: I have a terminal and the BOINC program open automatically at startup. Both of these are running before the sound notifier on the KDE workspace.

Can I get it earlier? If I open Configure Desktop-Startup and Shutdown-Autostart, I have BOINC and a Google Chrome Service listed under 'Desktop File' but not the terminal that opens automatically. So, the terminal is started someplace else. Below that is a place to add scripts.

I'm guessing that a valid script would be something like. I couldn't find that again because I missed the drop down list that had KDE Workspace in it. However, the issue still remains.

I'm guessing that a valid script would be something like and the file would not need an extension but would have to be executable. Do I place it in this Autostart list or do I put it somewhere else? Also, does that look like a script that would work?I'm no scripting expert so can't really help there. The issue is where in the startup process the sound is played? I don't know when pulseaudio is started, so that may figure into this too.

Azle, Texas, United States Hi I'm Don, I write, sing and record songs of my own and I like doing this very much. My music is on my web site. My first album is called DonSongs and my second one is called Living Beings - Climate Control.

You can Download and listen and save all our songs on my web site at DonSongs.com and it's completely free. My favorite hobby now is computers. I like to fix old Computers and make them usable again with different Linux Operating Systems or just fix up messed up WindBlows systems;). I really like researching interesting things on the Internet. I read allot about many things, Technical things on computers and the Internet, interesting discoveries in science, new technology, local and world news and just what ever strikes me as interesting. I am very handy and good with tools, fixing and making things. I like to help my friends with their projects when I can.

I love Hot Rods and use to do Motor Swaps and put Big Block Chevy Motors where 6 cylinders once were. I love 4 Wheeling and Dirt Bike Riding But I don't have a motorcycle any more. I still really like 4 Wheeling in my 1976 Chevy Blazer, when I can afford the Gas and cost of Broken Parts that is.!!!:O Don.
