[Bug 698148] New: Halt noise on shutdown ignores system settings
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698148 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698148#c0 Summary: Halt noise on shutdown ignores system settings Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: damienradtke@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0 When I shut my computer down, the computer's internal speaker (the one that beeps when the computer is first powering up too, NOT the sound speakers) makes a loud noise, even when I attempt to disable it. In /etc/sysconfig/shutdown, I have HALT_SOUND set to "no", which doesn't appear to change anything. This occurs when I shut down or restart my computer, but not when I log off. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot in to openSUSE 11.4 2. Shutdown or restart the computer, e.g. running "sudo /sbin/shutdown now" in a terminal Actual Results: The computer's internal speaker emits a loud beep, regardless of the HALT_SOUND system setting. Expected Results: When the HALT_SOUND is set to "no", this beep should not occur. -- 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.

It must be something else. For disabling the kernel beep, try to run "rmmod pcspkr". Some HD-audio drivers provide its own beep, but this could be switched off (to the another beep) via "Beep" mixer switch. -- 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.

But, I still wonder why HALT_SOUND=no didn't work. Could you double-check? If any, try to edit /etc/init.d/halt script not to issue any beep-related stuff (look for HALT_SOUND there). If you hear still beep at shutdown/halt, it must be from something else.

I took a look at the code now, and it broadcasts the warning message beginning with \007.

Looking at the source for shutdown.c in sysvinit, I can't tell which part initiates the beep. My best guess is that it comes from wall() inside the warn method, but I'm not at home right now and can't test it.

A beep on a console is simply
echo -e '\a'
that is the ASCII value for beep also called bell. You may replace \a with \007 (compare with `man ascii').
Or just hit Ctrl-G. Use of 'beep' is surely not the real problem, but when the machine has a regular, working soundcard, it does seem odd that it would produce the beep through the builtin speaker instead. Is there any chance this is because the normal soundcard has been shut down at this point, and sound therefore falls back to the speaker? -- 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.

The only times the internal speaker is used are 1) while shutting down or restarting 2) when in runlevel 3 It does seem very possible that the soundcard is shutting down before the beep is issued, resulting in a very annoying internal beep instead of a far less annoying speaker one.
