drumroll-service  

Simply a package that installs a systemd service to play the Ubuntu startup sound, which was the default from 4.04 until 17.10. Note this is NOT a "login sound", which is easy to do, and when I googled how to restore the boot sound, all I found was how to play a sound after one logs in, UNTIL I finally came across this > https://askubuntu.com/questions/973680/how-to-bring-back-drum-roll-sound-in-ubuntu-17-10-when-system-is-ready-for-user/1050000

I decided to make a debian package out of it to ease installation. I included the author of that comment in the copyright file.

Sooooo.... here ya'll go. Long Live Ubuntu!

Building

Simply run ./build.sh
Install with sudo dpkg --install *name of file*
It depends on pulseaudio-utils, libasound2, ubuntu-sounds, and libcanberra-gtk-module (the first two should already be installed).

Note

Also in this repo is a handy script I made called post-ubuntu.sh, which installs handy packages for Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04. Run it without any flags, or with the --help flag to see how to use it.
