[Bug 161787] Re: Gnome Sound Preferences help refers to a system bell, but it's called system beep.
I would like the developers to elevate the importance of this bug. This issue is present in jaunty, in the beta, with all the packages up to date. I have found it impossible to disable the system beep in any way. None of the configuration options noted above work for me. I also cannot simply blacklist the pcspkr or snd-sprk module, because my laptop has the speaker built into the sound card - which means the only way to disable it, is to blacklist the module for the entire sound card - which means no sound of any kind whatsoever. And the beep is really bloody annoying. I know ubuntu developers put it there willingly several versions back, so it's not like you have to search around trying to find it - how hard can it be to put an option on it, whether to enable it or not at shutdown? Thanks. -- Gnome Sound Preferences help refers to a system bell, but it's called system beep. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Also, the pcspkr creates static for me on reboot, which is an extra annoyance. -- Gnome Sound Preferences help refers to a system bell, but it's called system beep. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Err... as a newbie to Ubuntu who wants to use the sound card, the lack of accurate documentation is a real turn-off. As well as the change from bell to beep (which is pretty trivial), there's also the issue of the completely new user interface on the general tab. A lot of the fields are not exactly self-explanatory (at least to a newbie). To be honest, assigning a low priority to documentation is self- defeating. Linux will never take off until this casual attitude is changed. Yes, I know that MS documentation help files are equally badly maintained, but there's so much larger a user base that bulletin boards help sites quickly fill up with fixes. And then there are books like Windows xxx Annoyances which help (albeit a year too late given the publication cycle). Linux appears to have none of this, only a community which, as soon as a difficult question is asked, goes rapidly silent. -- Gnome Sound Preferences help refers to a system bell, but it's called system beep. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome2-user-docs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
