Hi all, It is six years later and this exact problem is back with Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus. I unblacklisted pcspkr and loaded the module, plus the overwhelming multitude of other steps.
The "beep" command works and "echo blahblah | wall" also works, "but echo -e '\a'" and "printf '\a'" do nothing, nor does the rubout or other keys in terminal and Gedit. I've never submitted a bug before, but I'll try now and reference this bug so we can benefit from all your hard work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486154 Title: System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/486154/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
