Feature changed by: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) Feature #311089, revision 2 Title: Disable system bell by default if sound card is installed openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pieter De Decker (pdedecker) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the first things I do after installing openSUSE is disabling the system bell by adding this to ~/.inputrc: set bell-style none Its volume is needlessly high. The bell scares the hell outta me whenever it creeps up because I backspaced too much on the command line. My suggestion: disable the system bell by default, unless no sound card is installed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It's a simple fix for something that has been bugging me forever. + Discussion: + #1: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) (2011-01-19 22:57:33) + Completely agree. + Too many times I have used my openSUSE laptop at college or other + public places and during the middle of a class my computer would spew + forth a series of extremely loud beeps. Useless and extremely + annoying. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311089
