"set bell-style none" won't stop my internal speaker from beeping
In my /etc/inputrc file i uncommented the line 'set bell-style none' like the comment said, but it doesn't keep my computer from beeping every time i use TAB to complete part of a command or filename.
Did you try setting it per user:
echo "set bell-style none" >> ~/.inputrc
My other idea would include opening the case cover, but you can also try these: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/110
The problem is in /etc/inputrc.
If you uncomment the "set bell-style none", it won't work.
That's because there's a space character at the end of that line, and the parser doesn't recognize it.
So you have to delete such character and redo login.
