There are many ways to disable it: * reconfigure the kernel * configuring bash to not beep (thanks a lot Lawrance for the howto link) * unplugging the pc speaker Still they are not good solutions: * people can't always mod theyr hardware * not everybody likes to make "techy patches" to their system I really think there should be an easy way to disable it, or even better to have it disabled by default. I don't know anybody relying on their pc speaker for any purpose other than having the mainboard complain the hardware isn't plugged in correctly: I think the time is come OS'es should drop pc-speaker support. I didn't ever hear windows vista beeping, maybe it does for really critical situations. So a good solution could be to keep the pc-speaker module compiled as you like but have bash configured to "nobeep" by default. -- 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.
