Hi Ralf, I've looked into this, brltty-tune is only used to play the usual sounds of brltty, which are obviously connected to braille display actions. The odd sound can even be heard, when I'm not sitting at the terminal. But thanks for the time and effort you put into this.

After upgrading the kernel to 4.7.8 today the issue did not occur again. So I assume the error was in the kernel, although I would still very much like to know a way to analyse this kind of problem. I imaging there must be some kind of continious loggin tool that shows when exactly the error triggers. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [arch-general] system crashes when starting network connection
Did this problem started after an upgrade? Can you check if it is hardware failure? Any memtest?
Re: [arch-general] sporadic strange PC speaker sounds
PS:
I wanted to know, if there's the need to add a melody file ...
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ brltty-tune --help
Usage: brltty-tune [option ...] note... | -f [{file | -}...]
-f--files Use files rather than command line arguments.
-v loudness --volume= Output volume (percentage).
-d device --device= Name of tune device.
-i instrument --instrument= Name of MIDI instrument.
-h--help Print a usage summary (commonly used options
only), and then exit.
-H--full-help Print a usage summary (all options), and then
exit.
... regarding the MIDI instrument I now have doubts that it does use
the PC speaker beep.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ man brltty-tune
No manual entry for brltty-tune

[arch-general] sporadic strange PC speaker sounds
Hey hey, occasionally I hear a short "tune" on my pc speaker. It's too unexpected and too short to try lsof to see which process is using the pc speaker. The sound is reminiscent of old console games. It's several short notes, all in a blues pentatonic. this has been an issue right from the installation. The only special daemon running is brltty, which at least didn't use to make such sounds in the past. Can anyone suggest a process or a method of finding it? It only happens a couple of times a day, but this could be a problem when recording with the microphone. On the other hand, I can't turn off the pc speaker, since I rely on BRLTTY and other signals in non recording contexts. Thank you and best wishes, Jeanette When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3

Re: [arch-general] Can't change tty size
Let's start out with the setting with a font you intend like to use that is as closely above 80 columns as you can make it. $ stty cols 80 will inform the kernel what size of terminal your receiving end has. This way you truncate the view on the screen and get your precise 80x* terminal. You could add it to your login script or something to make it permanent? cheers! mar77i
Re: [arch-general] Can't change tty size
Hi, I tried the Terminus fonts to get an 80xsomething console size. The number of rows can adjusted satisfactorilly, but the number of columns is either greater or lesser than 80. Is there a way to set wider spacing on the terminal or something to get exactly 80 characters per line? the terminal size is still 1024x768. I'm not too worried about display on a true screen, since I have no screen connected and probably won't ever have.
