Hello List, I like my audible bell very much. I really really like it – unfortunately, Metacity (from current Testing) blocks it in the following way:
* "beep" works fine * "xkbbell -force" works, but it doesn't w/o the "-force" * Gnome-Terminal and all the other applications can only bell "visible", i. e. I get a flash when enabling the visible bell in Metacity's gconf-preferences but no audible bell if I disable it (and leave "audible bell" enabled). * The module pcspkr is compiled into the kernel and works fine, as proven above. * The volume of the "Bell"-output is at 50% in Alsamixer, and as proven above, ok this way. I assume this is the same bug as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/486154/ and comment 50 seems to provide a solution I didn't test yet – my question is, wether or not there is a Debian-way to enable the bell in Metacity or if I have to switch window managers as Piotr Engelking did here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551590 The hints he gave in this bug report unfortunately don't work for me – I enabled the corresponding keys, but still can't hear a bell, probably because I don't use ESD (is there any reason why I should install this? ALSA works just fine for me…) Best regards, Claudius ii metacity 1:2.28.0-3 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii gnome-core 1:2.28+7 The GNOME Desktop Environment -- ess… -- Home on the Range was originally written in beef-flat. http://chubig.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
