Thanks! The others sounds in the directory is not currently used in puppy?

I've mentioned this first-boot-only Woof Woof issue several times, previously. I need it every time. How can I unlock and edit the offending command?
Must save a few lines of code, too, since there must be a test somewhere for first boot?

"Woof, woof" is obviously a very important feature that needs to be in Puppy at every boot. :D

I put "aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.au" down at the bottom of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to get it every time.

right click on the browser icon and edit / replace the text like so

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
play /root/puppy-reference/audio/login.wav
exec mozstart "$@"
Isn't there a way of running programs concurrently if using long sound files?

sage,

the "offending" command is towards the bottom of /etc/profile, where # aplay -N /usr/share/audio/bark.au has been commented out.

if you're worried about burglars, then you could add this line to /root/.xinitrc:

aplay -N /usr/share/audio/2barks.wav &

just above exec $CURRENTWM, then keep them at bay by cycling through control-alt-backspace, then xwin.

Many thanks Paul, Lob. & muggie - much appreciated. Everything around here tends to be experimental! I need to know that sound is working today, not yesterday. All the other distros oblige with their jingles. Not sure why Barry is so reticent about proclaiming his presence.

Never did complete the Woof Woof doorbell project. Maybe will get back to that one, now. It's not burglars that worry me, it's the double glazing and driveway resurfacing gypos that annoy me.
