I had the same problem with no logout sound after upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy.
I've first been surprised by the Unistallation package window, which appears just before starting the upgrade. The package "esound" was listed as being uninstalled during the upgrade.
After the upgrade to Gutsy, /usr/bin/esd was no more present (because of esound uninstall), and thus, no sound at Gnome logout.
So I simply reinstalled those 2 packages using Synaptic:
Hi,
I had the same problem with no logout sound after upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy.
I've first been surprised by the Unistallation package window, which appears just before starting the upgrade. The package "esound" was listed as being uninstalled during the upgrade.
After the upgrade to Gutsy, /usr/bin/esd was no more present (because of esound uninstall), and thus, no sound at Gnome logout.
So I simply reinstalled those 2 packages using Synaptic:
esound (0.2.38-0ubuntu4)
esound-clients (0.2.38-0ubuntu4)
and now, /usr/bin/esd is back, and logout sound works perfectly.
If this can help ...
