Slight correction: readline generates the sound when Backspace at the beginning of a line or ^G is pressed, but it only does this by default; there's no sound if /etc/inputrc has bell-style set to other than "audible".
The problem is still present testing only with "echo -e '\a'". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254527 Title: System bell randomly doesn't work after login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-runtime/+bug/1254527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
