Yep, just acquired my first Linux machine this week - a System76 Pangolin Performance - these beeps are startling!
I, too, was able to un-check the "Play alert sound" and have relief from the obnoxious, angry beeping (each time I backspace one-too-many-times) Being new to Linux & Ubuntu... all of the computer jargon above is like a foreign language to me... but I'm guessing that there is no "real" solution to the problem, other than un-checking the aforementioned box? I'm not sure if I am running "Jaunty" or "Intrepid" .... as a matter of fact, I have no clue what these names are describing... Lastly, the "help" option available to the sound properties dialog box was not at all helpful. It did not seem to relate in any way to the dialog box with which I was interfacing. Seems like this is mentioned above a few times, and so... I concur! -- Annoying system beep plays instead of alert sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
