Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2002 6:16 am Post subject: Disabling the system bell |
|
|
Ideally I would like to disable the system bell for all applications. If this is not possible then my only major source of irritation is gVim (the others are already disabled or don't make too much noise).
Unfortunately even unhooking my speaker connector from the panel does not solve the problem since there appears to be a speaker located on my motherboard (or that appears to be where the noise is coming from).
Thanks for any help |

I tried using 'xset -b' (and 'xset b off' for good measure) neither worked. I also tried adding 'set bell-style none' to .bash_profile that did not work either but I'm not sure if it is supposed to affect non-terminal applications like gVim.
I have been using setterm -blength 0 in /etc/profile if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the response |

Hey! It works!
Thanks, I was really thinking this would have no chance of working because it didn't work when I tried it .bash_profile (and I am certain that gets executed). Would you know why this doesn't work from .bash_profile? |

I honestly couldnt tell you. I have a feeling I had a similar problem with .bash* scripts not working as they should (based on my experiences with Redhat...). Perhaps a .inputrc or the .bashrc is the right place to put such a setting for a normal user?.
The only thing I can think of is that perhaps a Code: | source .bash_profile (or whatever) |
is required in a global config file. Perhaps someone who knows a little more than I could enlighten us all? Id be keen to find out as well.
Pleased I was able to help with your problem tho |

hmm that is really weird. through out the whole compile time? I guess you can just unplug the speaker from the mobo, but that would be a bit much , although it is very strange. _________________ >>>>> Ignorance is bliss <<<<< |

Okay..
But...
My problem is that i have a emerge -e world going.
and i dont want to stop it (then i have to do it all over).
i can go to terminal 2 and write "setterm -blength 0" and then go back to terminal 1 and resume the compiling (i paused it by pressing Scroll Lock)
but it still beeps.
i put the line in /etc/profile and do a source /etc/profile - but it still beeps. _________________ Encrypt, lock up everything and duct tape the rest |

To disable the beeps for another terminal than the one you are currently in, type:
Code: | setterm -blength 0 > /dev/vc/1 |
Change the number to match the terminal you want to turn of beeps for. |

You could also stop the emerge process (ctrl-c), set the terminal to ignore beeps and resume the emerge process again with

|
|
Hi, i'm increasingly getting annoyed by the fact that my system speaker beeps when something happens in gentoo, like pushing backspace too much or when the system is ready to shutdown.
Its loud and very annoying, is there anyway to turn it off? |

You could remove PC Speaker support from your kernel?
If you're in X and a TERM is doing it, there's probably a setting that can be for lack of a better word... set. In Konsole you'd turn off system notification.... Not sure about the others.... _________________ I have nothing witty to say here... ever |

Another unrelated speaker problem. I can't get GAIM to beep when someone says my name in chat. I switched the system beep to automatic. It works when I get an IM. |

i remember posting this answer before but here goes:
in X it's:
xset -b
in console:
setterm -blength 0
or now with the 2.6 kernels, you can compile it as a module and just not load it. _________________ pizza. |

pull the speaker plug off the motherboard?
i think 2.6 now has specific support for the pc speaker, try disabling that _________________ 95% of all computer errors occur between chair and keyboard (TM)

i would also like to do something about the system beep...i've grown sick of my father thinking he's funny by emulating every beep the computer makes..
however, rather than turn them off all together, i'd prefer it if there was a way to redirect it to the sound card. i've heard of some mysterious kernel patch, but have found nothing. any ideas on this? |
