I have examined the comments from the file '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf', wherein this denial was made, and apparently it was made solely for reasons related to Ubuntu Desktop. The comments say that the sound generated by the module should be replaced by a "nice pulseaudio [1] bing". I suggest that you fix this by splitting the server configuration into a separate package, wherein the denial of 'pcspkr' should be removed, and retaining the original package only on Ubuntu Desktop. (I prefer the terms 'approved list' and 'denied list' over 'whitelist' and 'blacklist', because the latter terms originated from the racist days of Jim Crow.) [1 /Sic erat scriptum/. Should be "PulseAudio".] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: kmod 22-1.1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-19.21-generic 4.10.8 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-19-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Apr 16 10:07:33 2017 Dependencies: gcc-6-base 6.3.0-12ubuntu2 libc6 2.24-9ubuntu2 libgcc1 1:6.3.0-12ubuntu2 libkmod2 22-1.1ubuntu1 lsb-base 9.20160110ubuntu5 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-03-25 (22 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release i386 (20161012.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=linux-m PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=es_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: kmod UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to zesty on 2017-04-14 (2 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.modprobe.d.blacklist.conf: 2017-03-25T13:19:57.760888 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kmod/+bug/1683167/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
