User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; it; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.5 On my systems (Intel 32 and 64 bit) I do not get the build-in speaker beep after OpenSuse 11.2 has booted. I have switched to level 3 shutting down KDE; I have booted at failsafe mode and system recovery mode, but no beep at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system 2. 3. Actual Results: No built-in speaker beep Expected Results: normal system beep
Try to run once: rmmod pcspkr modprobe pcspkr If this work, you can put somewhere in init script.
Thank you! Yes, it work fine from console, but do not work from KDE. I have tryed to setup *beep* channel of mixer, and then restart KDE, but no bell sound again.
Do you mean konsole on KDE? X can set up whether to use the system beep or any other method. KDE in general uses its PCM beep, so it doesn't matter whether pcspkr driver is used or not.
Not, I mean to say the character console (Ctrl+Alt+Fn), not the program konsole of KDE. However, the Menu->Configure Desktop->Notifications->System Bell of KDE, it allows to use the system bell for the warnings, and in the previous release of OpenSuse it worked well.
If the beep works on linux console (without X), it's just an issue of desktop system; in this case, KDE. Reassigned to KDE guys.
I have this problem on all machines running 11.1 and 11.2. Booting a rescue 10.3 and 11.0 system gives the bell in a virtual console. Under 11.2 I cannot get a bell from an xterm or a virtual console. I do not think this is a kde problem: first I do not use kde; second the problem is identical under twm or gnome; but most importantly kde is not relevant to a virtual terminal.
@Dave: please report this as a different bug, as it seems to work for Alberto on a virtual konsole.
Alberto have you maybe upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 and can tell if the problem still exists?
I have upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 and the problem is solved: now the system speaker work fine in and out the KDE. Thanks at all.
Thanks closing as fixed.
