I'm using RHEL5 through Vmware 6.5 with windows xp.
My problem is that I want to turn off the system / warning beeps as these are so annoying.
I have tried aleady these commands -
rmmod -v pcspkr
and I appended the command - blacklist pcspkr in /etc/modrobe.d/blacklist file too but after rebooting the beep is again there.
After googling I tried appending this one -
/sbin/rmmod pcspkr in
vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local - to unload the drivers.
Still no luck after rebooting.
Thanks Carltm for the advice.
But this solution only work till the current session ends.After that it creates the same problem.
Anyways I announce that I got the solution of the problem myself,that was just a sily typo ...In ..../rc.local file I accidently put /sbin/rmmod/pcspkr , that's why the changes were not getting reflected. I corrected it removed the unwanted "/" . Now everything's fine.
Happy Linux.
