I'm trying to add a login sound to Raspbian, but I have no idea how to do it. Just so you know, when I mean login sound I mean after you type you user name and password. Anyone got any suggestions.
If it helps, I have a:
Brand: Raspberry Pi
Model: B
Operating System: Raspbian "Wheezy"
Size: 8 Gigabytes
If you mean the virtual console login, you could add a command to your .bashrc file to play a sound file. This will be played anytime you login or create a new terminal emulator window.
An example would be mplayer login.ogg &. You'll need a sound from somewhere.
Is there a reason for this, though? Something else may be more fitting.
.bashrc in your home folder with a text editor and add mplayer /path/to/sound.ogg to the very end (if the file exists. If it didn't already exist, creating a new .bashrc is fine). Remember you need a sound file already.
mplayer is not installed on most distros be default. Install it with sudo apt-get install mplayer. Anyway, did you find another solution or use mplayer? If this was how you solved your problem, please mark it as the answer! ;)
