Change the Ubuntu 10.10 start up sound
Sometimes its nice to change the appearance. But one thing that I have always wanted to do was change the start up sound.

To change the start up sound do the following.

1) Drop your file in your /home/USERNAME/Music directory.

2) Goto System >> Preferences >> Startup Applications

3) Scroll down to Gnome Login Sound and click Edit

4) Remove the information from the box and paste the information below.

Remember to replace USERNAME with your proper username
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --file=/home/[b]USERNAME/Music/{name_of_your_file}[/b]

5) Click Save

Log out and then log back in. Everything works correctly you will hear your new start up sound.
