Most hard drive failures are unexpected, that's why we have backups

The last one was down to hard drive failure. Unexpected. I didn't expect to lose both my main and secondary drive within a week.

In general, it is a good idea to back up the entire ~/.kde4/share/config directory before you reinstall or upgrade KDE.

The sound notifications are saved here

~/.kde4/share/config/kde.notifyrc

So, make sure you back it up when you have it the way you like ahead of the next upgrade etc.

Every time I do a clean install of KDE, I spend a decade or so turning off all those annoying sounds for startup / shutdown / empty recycle bin etc.

There's got to be a way of disabling all of them without all that hassle and without losing the ability to hear stuff you want to hear. Any ideas?
