It used to be that you could edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add “blacklist pcspkr†to turn off the console beeps entirely on Ubuntu / Kubuntu. As of 9.04, the module is now called “snd_pcspâ€.
So, to turn off console (not X terminal, but tty) beeps, you can do one of the following:
1) (This is my preference)
echo blacklist snd_pcsp >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2) (I’ve done this, but it doesn’t affect all software)
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6
do
setterm -blength 0 > /dev/tty$i
done
3) (Only works per shell if ~/.inputrc is included)
echo set bell-style visible >> ~/.inputrc
Enjoy more-sane editing from ttyX in the future!
