Some changes in Notifications > Application Settings do not take effect. I described below the steps needed to reproduce the issue. I wanted to add a login/logout sound, thus I went to: System Settings > Notifications > [Configure] > Plasma Workspace > [Configure Events]. In "Login" I selected "Play a sound", and provided the following file: /usr/share/sounds/mysound.wav I also selected "Log to a file", and provided the following path: /home/steddy/Desktop/login.txt I did the same for "Logout". I selected "Play a sound", and provided the same path as before: /usr/share/sounds/mysound.wav Also I selected "Log to a file", with the following path: /home/steddy/Desktop/logout.txt Now, these changes only work at logout; i.e. the sound plays and the following information is written into logout.txt: - KNotify Mon M08 5 17:54:12 2019: Logout But at the login no sound is played, and no information is written in login.txt. I found a similar issue here, but the proposed solution doesn't work for me: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/525384-System-fails-to-play-a-sound-for-the-login-event The settings I changed are saved into the .config/plasma_workspace.notifyrc file. I uploaded it here: https://pastebin.com/TScCYn2j
I forgot to mention another related bug: the "Play" icons are not working (they don't preview/reproduce the selected sound): https://imgur.com/a/OnZ63Yk
