Public bug reported: I tried to enable visual bell, frame-flash type, by doing:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences visual-bell true gsetings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences visual-bell-type 'frame-flash' The issue is that while visual bell gets enabled, it always flashes the whole screen. I am trying this by pressing backspace in the terminal app. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.26.1-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Nov 21 16:08:47 2017 DisplayManager: gdm3 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.shell' b'app-picker-view' b'uint32 1' b'org.gnome.shell' b'favorite-apps' b"['org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'firefox.desktop']" b'org.gnome.desktop.interface' b'gtk-im-module' b"'gtk-im-context-simple'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-11-20 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug artful wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733727 Title: visual-bell-type frame-flash does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1733727/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
