On ubuntu 12.04 the pcspkr module may be disabled or even blacklisted by default. So you may have to do: sudo modprobe pcspkr to activate it (supposing, of course, that there actually is a speaker). sudo apt-get install beep and then run beep to test. (Of course, i guess i'm supposing that NSBeep() goes through beep or pcspkr somehow, which i don't know.) dan _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
