Hi Developers, I noticed that when I tab complete in the default shell, (freecom, I think) that it beeps, and is stuck beeping for a long time. I have not been able to see how long till it stops, but if it stops at all, it is much longer than it should be. The only way I have found to stop it is to turn the computer off.
I am not the greatest programmer ever, but I am comfortable looking at source code. I checked a couple files from freecom source. beep_l.c and beep_n.c The implementation looked reasonable, assuming that the argument to delay is in milliseconds. I also am assuming that the instructions are executed in series. I am sending this to the developer mailing list, because I think it is a bug. I also plan on mailing the user mailing list to discuss configuration options. I can check the other files included to see about sound and nosound. Though I am not an expert, and would be surprised if I was able to find issues. I am running FD12 on an HP Pavilion that is about three years old. I used the USB install image from your official website, and there were no errors while installing. I think this is a problem with the shells implementation. 4dos beeps for a tolerable period of time. TL;DR: The beep in the default shell hangs longer than it should. -- Johnpaul T.
