I also am affected by this. After lots of playing around I got it to do the horrible system bell, which in my case is better than a nice sounding one, but still.
Here's the steps I took to get the workaround: 1) Unblacklist pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf 2) Reboot (or modprobe, whatever) 3) alsamixer, make sure PC Beep isn't muted 4) xset b on 5) xset b 8 (nice and low so it doesn't make my ears bleed) 6) echo -e '\a' (should work) -- System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486154 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
