turn off BEEP in BASH shell

SpiderIRE · 04-30-2006, 12:37 PM

It annoys me that everytime i type something wrong or press backspace too many times my computer beeps!! I'm using a BASH shell with FC3! does anyone know how i can turn this bell off?? in the setting menubar i can only change the bell from one event to another-i want to turn it off!!

Thanks!

In /etc/inputrc you can put the line "set bell-style none" to turn off the beeping from bash. Or you can use my solution and disconnect the frickin' worthless PC speaker so that nothing beeps, EVER.

Code:

setterm -blength 0

in /etc/profile or $HOME/.bash_profile

On cygwin, this didn't work, but putting

Code:

set bell-style none

in ~/.inputrc did. Just thought I'd put it out there. Hey, my first post.

Code:

sudo rmmod pcspkr

completely turns your pcspkr off. Or, you can blacklist it so that the speaker is disabled by default. Make a file /etc/modprobe.d/pcspkr and put this in it:

Code:

blacklist pcspkr
