[Bug 340657] New: globally turning off beep
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340657 Summary: globally turning off beep Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mszeredi@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- On the ThinkPad notebook line, the system beep can be extremely loud (googling for 'thinkpad beep hearing' will conform this). One suggestion to get rid of the beep is to remove the 'pcspkr' kernel module. However this module is compiled into the SUSE kernels, so it cannot be removed. Other suggested workarounds are: - add 'set bell-style none' to /etc/inputrc - add 'setterm -blength 0' to /etc/profile.local - xset b off None of these are very user friendly. So it would be nice to add a global knob to YaST, possibly automatically turning off beep at install time for ThinkPads, or at least asking the user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"Why is computer bleeping like crazy all the time?" < "..." "oh you're running Linux or something." < "Yeah ..." "Seems very annoying, am I glad I'm running Windows." < *sigh*
