In both plain old xterm and gnome-terminal, the terminal bell (e.g. from tab completion, "ping -a", etc.) is now captured by GNOME and plays a sound effect instead of just beeping the PC speaker. I guess that's nice if you like sound effects and/or your PC speaker doesn't work, but I want the plain old beep back? How do I get that?
If I go to Preferences->Sound, I can only change the sound effect or disable it; I can't get the PC speaker to beep. I guess I'd like to leave the GNOME "alert sound" to a sound effect (I don't really care about it); I just want my xterms to beep at me like they have for the last 18 years. The sound effects really suck for "ping -a"; they are all a little too long (most of the time), so instead of a regular beep-per-second, you get intermittent sound effects and silence. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
