Enable system sounds and events
#11
I have spent the last day investigating this and installing sounds to my computer. System wide sounds in Linux Lite (or any XFCE based distro) is incredibly difficult to set up and get working, the only way this could be implemented is if the XFCE devs made this as simple as click and install, but it is far from that at the moment, but who knows in the future. The best we can hope for at the moment is a start up sound in the final but we are perilously close to going over cd size so we'll have to wait and see, might be one of those surprises we sneak in at the end Wink

Valtam, thank you for taking the time to research this, i did as well and came to the same conclusion, i'm just learning about all this as i just started trying Linux distros in the last few weeks to try and convert some family members and friends to Linux  cause i am tired of them coming to me for help when they get viruses on theirs windows pc,
In my discovery ( i messed w linux maybe 2 years ago) These new distros, especially yours they are really impressive and work great ( i myself will be using this distro now after trying it) The main thing i need from windows still is Photoshop (gimp is close but not quite)
Anyway the whole system sound thing is not so much a big deal to me, but i do like system sounds, but to people i'm trying to convert to Linux Lite, i need to make it as windows like as i can so it will be seamless when they switch.
Thanks for taking the time to investigate, i appreciate it, even w out system sounds Linux Lite is awesome, thanks for the hard work.

It would be nice to have a few system sounds. I worked on this for a while when Deb 8 first came out but with only very limited good results. Would probably have to include some form of dconf editor in the default install then?

I have a package all set to go if anyone wants to test. Just need to logout/in to activate it.
At this stage it's not configurable, so all system sounds are enabled.
