Hey everyone!

I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is, the Ubuntu startup sound I’ve created, entitled “It’s a Newbuntu,” is done. There’s also a replacement for the triple drumbeat sound on the login screen. The bad news is, these sounds didn’t make it into the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS official release. The design team may incorporate them into a future patch and perhaps enable them by default. I’ll leave that up to them.

However, if you’d like to install the new sounds now, I’ve got a handy ZIP file that will allow you to do just that:

Unzip, check the README file for instructions, and enjoy!
