Thomas, I don't think you need to run gconf-editor at all. This is what does it for me on Natty 11.04:
/usr/bin/pactl remove-sample bell.ogg /usr/bin/pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/glass.ogg bell.ogg /usr/bin/xset b on /usr/bin/xset b 100 Plug this into a session startup script. Of course it doesn't fix the problem that changing the sound of the bell via "System -> Preferences -> Sound Preferences" has no effect. I can't understand why this continues to be an issue in Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486154 Title: System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
