hello all, some laptops made a very loud beep, in the terminal with autocolpetion, or when thunderbird receives a new mail. Unfortunately, it seems that this problem is related to something that os2008 (snv 101a) doesn't manage, you can turned the volume down to nothing, this beep is always here, and doesn't exist in Windows. There were differents solutions to manage it, so far: 1 - "xset b off" in the terminal, but you have to type it every time you login 2 - modify KBD_BEEPER_FREQ, CONSOLE_BEEPER_FREQ in /etc/default/kbd to 0 3 - add a startup program in System->Preferences->Sessions that does: "xset b off" 4 - create a /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf from /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf to disable sound 5 - hack /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default to add "xset b off"
before b101a, every solutions worked, but with b101a, the beep is coming back, and i have to use solution 1, others solutions seems insufficient. Is it possible to address this problem definitively when we are on a laptop? thanks in advance, gerard
