Disable BEEPS!

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the beeps that I'm hearing a lot of times when I use tab to complete something for me when working in the terminal?

Thanks for reading big_smile

Re: Disable BEEPS!

If this is the audible bell, then edit ~/.Xdefaults and add

  [termname]*vbell: True

That sets visual bell on, which turns audible bell off.

Re: Disable BEEPS!

Alternatively, you could put the pcspkr module on hwdetect's blacklist.

That's a handy trick I didn't know about - what file's the blacklist in?

Try /etc/rc.conf's MOD_BLACKLIST variable wink

Re: Disable BEEPS!

Does that work for the new initrd-scheme Arch uses nowadays? After a system boot I've got +100 loaded modules, most of them don't even apply to my system! If I paste those names in the MOD_BLACKLIST, will that prevent them from being loaded?

Re: Disable BEEPS!

You could use xset and setterm to change the console bell properties and make it less loud or have a different pitch.

Enable autodetection in /etc/mkinitrd.conf:

AUTODETECT=1

Then specify the filesystems you use, by modules. For example, ext3 would be

FILESYSTEMS="jbd ext3"

Then remake the initrd and reboot, and all the cruft will be gone.

... or turn it off:

xset -b
