>== Get rid of the annoying beeps (solved) ==

The FAQ tells to add

xterm b off

to the .xsession file to get rid of the annoying loud beeps. As I found no .xsession file in my $HOME directoy, I created one with content xterm b off. But it seems that this is not read because the beeps are still there. Can anyone tell me, how to check, if it is read or where I can set this instead? Thanks a lot --Cliffhanger 07:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

hallo cliffhanger, the correct command-syntax is xset b off.

xterm is the X11-Terminalemulator. With "prompt> man xset" you can read the documention. so long, reik. --Reik 16:05, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi reik, thanks for your answer. The xterm thing was my typo fault! In my .xsession I had xset b off. Don't know, how xterm came to my mind... I have fixed it now by simply switching it off in the GUI (with german settings under System -> Einstellungen -> Audio -> Systemsignalton). Google is your friend if you feed it with the right words! This gets the job done for me, but when I have some more time to practice (I would call myself a linux beginner), I will find out how to get the .xsession file working. --Cliffhanger 15:19, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
