Irssi inside gnu screen annoying message (SOLVED)

FernandoBasso · 2011-10-04 03:05:16

I'm using irssi with beep_beep.pl, and
beep_cmd = "aplay --quiet /home/nando/.irssi/alert.wav &";
in ~/.irssi/config. When the sound plays, I get:

"No protocol specified, xcb_connection_has_error() return true."

Any help is welcome.

Does it work outside of screen?

Yes. It does. I've been using irssi for about three years, but it
is the first time I'm trying to use it with gnu screen.

Perhaps, there is a more appropriate way of getting irssi letting
me know that someone mentioned my nick. I already use a
different color for that, but that alone is not enough. I need
some sort of audio notice.

EDIT: SOLVED: Actually, reading http://irssi.org/documentation/tips
I found the solution. After starting gnu scree the user must hit

ctrl-a ctrl-g

so that irssi is aware of audio bells.

Also, in ~/.screenrc we can use

bell on

for audio bell or
vbell on for visual bell. Since I didn't have any of them, I
guess the default is vbell on.
