How To: Install system sounds

[stevezygote]

I'm not sure where I found them but I found some interesting sound scapes that I could install and that's what I'm trying to do into Kubuntu 8.04. I downloaded an instruction text file and it tells me something that doesn't seem to exist on my system. That is: ~/.kde. Can't find the thing! Here are the instructions I downloaded. Can someone give me a kick start (as opposed to a kick)? Thank you.

* Browse to ~/.kde/share/
* Create a folder called "sounds"
* Extract your sounds to this folder
* Open the KDE-Menu an start the Control Center
* Click on "Sound and Multimedia".
* Click on "System Notifications"
* Click a desired action and click the folder to the right, below the list of actions.
* Browse to your ~/.kde/share/sounds folder.
* Click Ok.
* Repeat the last 3 steps for each sound notification you wish to change
* Have fun! :-)

The symbol ~ refers to your home directory.

First see where are you typing

pwd

on a terminal.

If you see something like

/home/your_user_name

then go into .kde directory (it's a hidden directory) writing

cd .kde/

and follow the downloaded instructions.

I would remove any reference to installing Automatix.....it really is NOT recommended by most 'buntu users. Much better ways of installing restricted codecs, etc.
