Hi all,
Since I upgraded to F8, I'm unable to get that irritating system beep
disabled at startup.
I already tried :
- System > Preferences > Hardware > Sound > System Beep > unchecked
"Enable system beep"
- added "alias pcspkr dummy" to /etc/modprobe.conf (no effect)
The only thing that works is "xset -b" but I have to do it manually in a
terminal each time I log in. It does not work when added to System >
Preferences > Personal > Sessions > Startup Programs
When I add "xset -b" in .xsession, the X session fails with the message
"TERM environment variable not set"
Thanks for any help

Hi,
You can add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
blacklist pcspkr
This will prevent the module from loading at boot time.
To disable the speaker temporarily (untill the next boot) you can just
unload the module by:
sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
So using both would solve the problem immediately and perminantly.
