system beeps in terminal
In both the non-graphical terminal, and the Konsole terminal of my Gentoo box, I am getting system beeps a lot (from the PC speaker - not my normal speakers). it seems to happen when i hit tab to complete a path and it can't auto-complete. also, if i hit backspace on an empty line. i'm sure it happens other times those are just examples. i want to be able to get rid of these beeps completely. i find them quite annoying and quite useless. can somebody help?
thanks in advance, ~ Justin |

Not sure about the other event, though. Which shell are you using? |
Daihard,
I did your fix. It didn't seem to help much. Beeps are still occuring, even in Konsole when I backspace on an empty line. I also noticed that Thunderbird is beeping for new mail. Not sure if that is related or not. Do I have some sort of sound missing that KDE is expecting, and so it is playing a system beep? I guess I could always unplug my PC speaker. :-) (Just kidding.) Any other ideas? Thanks, ~ Justin |
Try disabling the sound from the preferences/settings menu of each individual application. and see if that stops it for that particular application.

I used to have a similar problem with Slackware and managed to fix it so this might work for you. Open up the file /etc/inputrc and look for a line that says:
set bell-style none If the last word is set to something else like audible then change it to none and make sure that a comment isn't in front of the line before saving the file. Now restart your machine and you should find that the internal speaker won't make any more noise. |
that worked! thanks Binary.
