Disable boot sound ?

[erland]

I've set the sound options to "None" but the boot and shutdown sound of the SqueezeBox Controller is still there.

I suppose I'm just missing some obvious option, or is there no way to disable the boot/shutdown sound ?

ssh to the controller and delete
/usr/share/jive/applets/DefaultSkin/sounds/shutdown.wav
/usr/share/jive/jive/splash.wav
-kdf

Thanks!

Is there a reason why we don't want the boot sounds to be affected by the sound settings available in the settings menu ?
Is it just that no one have had the time to implement it yet ?

That I cannot answer. I don't go to the meetings

probably a bit of both, and maybe a reason or two more. It's a new
product. It's very featureful when you think back to slimp3/
slimserver3.0. Lots more to do and it all need to be done one at a
time.

Could someone please give us a quick run down on SSH'ing, i would also like to do this as the splash sound is very crap. Also, is it possible to add/remove wallpaper this way?

check the box

then from a terminal (or windows ssh client):
ssh <ip> -l root

<IP> is the ip address of the controller, shown in the popup when you
enable remote login.

password is given in the popup.

If you are trying to connect from a windows box, your two best friends are:

and WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Great, but won't the (daily) firmware update reinstall the sound in all its glory?

Not unless you do a factory reset. Local modifications only affect
the "overlay" file system, so changes will persist across installs.

With this being one of the top Google results for "squeezebox controller boot sound" I figured it worth pointing out that the sounds now seem to be in /usr/share/jive/applets/SetupSoundEffects/sounds/ . My experience was that even after renaming the shutdown sound, it wasn't until after a reboot that the change stuck.
