!!Great Tutorial!! Had to put the sound file in the home directory for it to work. It seemed to fix the "no such file or directory" errror. AWESOME WORK!! Keep it up bro, much more people appreciate your work, than those who dont
This is why I'm switching to Linux! Lots of customisation and a community that's extremely helpful! edit: just tried this on pop! os with kde plasma and it still works :)
Thanks, I got this to work after an hour or so of back and forth until I got everything just right! Almost gave up but stuck with it and got it to work.
this really worked in the beginning and i thanked you for that! however, today, the startup sound doesn't really work now. i was wondering what could have happened to it.
Hmmm... Yeah that's weird. Have you tried looking at your startup applications to make sure it didn't some how get removed? Or make sure your script is in the right place. Or you may have uninstalled mpv by mistake.
This is the second tutorial I have followed step-by-step and, like 97% of the things I have attempted in the terminal... it just won't work! I am 63, thick-skulled, and just can't seem to grasp commands in the terminal. Thanks for trying, but if it isn't GUI, it won't get done on my PC running Ubuntu 22.04 Plasma.
I'm sorry my tutorial didn't help! Try looking around in your settings to see if you can find something that will work. I haven't run Plasma in a while, I don't remember if there was a specific setting in there. Unfortunately this is a bit of a niche area. As I said in the video, Startup sounds are on a bit of a decline and not many desktops have a dedicated setting for this, so this was the way I found to fix it. I'm sorry it's not working for you, though, and hope you find a way.
I'm with ya, same. except this is my 3rd failed tutorial. This is why Linux is garbage for most people. Instead of just putting a file to where you want it and going into system settings to set a startup sound or changing a line or 2 of code to get a 10 second file to play on startup. With Linux, by step 2 things aren't working the same so you have to spend an hour to figure out why. If you are able to get step 2 to work the same, then you have to create this file, then edit this and change that. Then find the app to make it all work and set it all up so it does a thing for 10 seconds when you turn the computer on. Now you've spent at least an hour just to get your computer to do something as simple as play a 100kb sound file, and that's assuming you were successful when most of the time this convoluted shit doesn't end up working and you realize that you've wasted so much of your time just trying to be a Linux user. The OS as a whole is completely retarted unless you like wasting your time tinkering with flashy over-engineered nonsense.....I guess I've learned that the hard way.
I'm not sure if you can do it with this method. I do think some Desktop Environments allow you to set one somewhere in the settings (KDE and Cinnamon come to mind), but not any universal option as shown in this video.
I believe it should. As long as there is a place to set startup applications, whether it's in settings or it's dedicated program, it will work on any distribution.
Sorry, can't really guarantee this will work on anything except Ubuntu. If the script works, you can find a way to make it run on startup, which will be different based upon your desktop environment. But that's all I can really say, I haven't really played around with Bodhi.
I wouldn't know off the top of my head. I'd look at the documentation for your display manager for where you can set up startup applications. Some you might put the script in a specific directory, some you may set through a config file. But TL;DR, look in your DM's documentation.
In the startup.sh file, did you change the filename on the line that says STARTUP\ FILENAME.mp3? If not, change that. Remember that if you have any spaces in the file name, you'll have to use a \ character. For example, if your file name is "Startup Sound.mp3", the third line will look like "mpv Startup\ Sound.mp3". Another problem that could come up is if you didn't put the sound in the right folder. If you have it, for example, in the Documents folder, you'll have to change the second line to be "/home/$USER/Documents".
@@jrtechsoftware the path to my file was Somthing like /Home/Music/Startup/Bobert System 7.OGG Would it help if i just placed the file in Home? Or changed the file name? The startup.sh file says Somthing along the lines of cd /home/$ltd/Music/Startup Mpv bobert\ system\ 7.ogg
Wait. Is your 2nd line "cd /home/$ltd/Music/startup"? If so, change the $ltd part to either $USER or your username. What the $USER does is point to a system variable that contains your username. If that doesn't work, then yeah try moving the sound into your home directory, rename the file to a more simple name, like "startup.ogg", and change the startup.sh file to reflect this.
Sorry to comment like that, I did it due my frustration 😅. And I fixed my errors... You explained with your file directory path, I had to specify mine. I figured it out and did everything as you guided... Thankyou ❤️👍🏼, and a sorry for making the first comment🥲

Yep! One of the best reasons to run Linux.
On kde you can actually set one through system settings in the notification settings
Excellent, well-made tutorial. Thank you for going through the steps one-by-one.
Using manjaro, worked like a charm! You're the best!
Glad it works on Manjaro!
Pop_OS 22.04 LTS still works with my win95.mp3 file, awesome, ty 👍
Thanks, I got this to work after an hour or so of back and forth until I got everything just right! Almost gave up but stuck with it and got it to work.
Great! Glad you got there in the end!
Thank you sir for your valuable effort. Really appreciate it.
Ayyy it worked. Thanks!!
Thank you so much It worked for me :)
I am using linux mint!
It worked on Kali linux too thanks
Elliott is that you!?
Thanks for this tutorial! I’m running Pop!_OS on an older pc, so I also added a delay so the sound plays just as my desktop appears.
Nice! Glad I could help!

@@jrtechsoftware before you replied, i found a slution. I did remove mpv so i got it back again and it's working again. Thanks!
Didnt Work
you can't move it from the desktop into a folder opened in Files because Files and the Desktop are completely different processes from each other.
and you can take the file and have it's file location copied by moving it over to the text editor or terminal.
Thanks....Followed your instructions and success.
You're welcome! Glad I could help you!
10000000% working.....Thanks man

Thank you 1000 times, my Ubuntu is live again :D ! I missed so much that old login sound! How to enable shutdown sound too!?
2024 year and it's still working :)
this tutorial is ez to understand and i succeed!!
but why it doesn't work with laptop-mode when power not plugged in?
Hmmm, not sure why it wouldn't work like that. It should just work when you log in, regardless of whether the laptop is plugged in.
very hard to understand
Thanks for the video , Can I make the same think but shut down? If I can , how can do that?
I'm not sure if you can do it with this method. I do think some Desktop Environments allow you to set one somewhere in the settings (KDE and Cinnamon come to mind), but not any universal option as shown in this video.
@@jrtechsoftware I See.. too Bad for me hahaha but thanks
is this work for pop os 20.04
I believe it should. As long as there is a place to set startup applications, whether it's in settings or it's dedicated program, it will work on any distribution.
@@jrtechsoftware ok it works on fedora as well
big thanks!
Glad it helped!
I try this method on bodhi Linux 6.0 didn't work for me.

I was able to do it when I was running linux mint cinnamon on ubuntun 18. 04 but now I dont remember or I cant do it
On Cinnamon, it's a bit different. There is a thing in the settings where you can set a startup sound, no need to create a startup script or anything.
[file] Cannot open file 'startupsound34.mp3': No such file or directory
Failed to open startupsound34.mp3.
please help
Could you share withe your startup.sh file?
You need the full file name if you’re doing this in a terminal.
Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
not working :(
How do I make it, so it plays as soon as the display manager launches. On mine. It plays after I login.
I wouldn't know off the top of my head. I'd look at the documentation for your display manager for where you can set up startup applications. Some you might put the script in a specific directory, some you may set through a config file.
But TL;DR, look in your DM's documentation.
@@jrtechsoftware Thank you. Good idea.
How to set welcome sound like Jarvis on Ubuntu ?
mine complains about no such file or directory, what have i done wrong?
Could you give me a timestamp in the video of when that happened for you?
@@jrtechsoftware 6:50 if that helps, i did name my startup sound file slightly different too
In the startup.sh file, did you change the filename on the line that says STARTUP\ FILENAME.mp3? If not, change that. Remember that if you have any spaces in the file name, you'll have to use a \ character. For example, if your file name is "Startup Sound.mp3", the third line will look like "mpv Startup\ Sound.mp3".

Mpv bobert\ system\ 7.ogg
Wait. Is your 2nd line "cd /home/$ltd/Music/startup"? If so, change the $ltd part to either $USER or your username. What the $USER does is point to a system variable that contains your username.

I used this to set the startup sound to the Dreamcast boot sound.
Haha! Nice!
I set the MacOS 9 startup
Thnx a Lot :) ...for Ubuntu 20.04 texteditor:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/$USER/Music/StartUpSound
mpv SoundName.mp3
exit
GoodJob JR :)))
Pls help me not working 🥲🥲
It's too difficult
Please make easy and sort video 👍
Are you confused about something in the video? If so, tell me and I'll try to help you.
this is fake
You're not a good teacher for beginners 🙂
Sorry to comment like that, I did it due my frustration 😅. And I fixed my errors... You explained with your file directory path, I had to specify mine. I figured it out and did everything as you guided... Thankyou ❤️👍🏼, and a sorry for making the first comment🥲
