The Slackbuilds one seems to be out of date. A current one is located at https://github.com/spkr-beep/beep
Reading the arch wiki for pc speakers (there's a section on "beep" specifically too) made it sound just obnoxious enough not to try though (pcspkr kernel module, udev, limitations) ________________________________ From: SlackBuilds-users <[email protected]> on behalf of B.

"beep" is supposed to make the PC speaker beep... but I can't make it work on either of the boxes I tested it on. When run as root, it doesn't give any error, and strace shows it doing iotcl() calls on /dev/tty0. I'm trying to see if this works *at all* for *anyone*. The code is 25 or more years old, so it may just be that it's not compatible with modern kernels... Any volunteers want to try it? _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
