By "softer" beep I meant the Gnome Alert Sound. This is the sound you hear if you Go to system->preferences->sound, enable the alert sound, and click the play button next to it.
One part of the bug was that whenever this sound was supposed to be played, the PC Speaker internal beep would sound instead. I believe that's fixed - when I hit backspace too many times in Karmic I instead hear the Gnome sound. The bug was sound driver dependent (not all drivers had the bug of giving the internal beep), so I can't verify if it's fixed everywhere. As for the bug in this report, my laptop doesn't beep on shutdown any more, so it may be fixed as well. -- Annoying beep on shutdown using "System -> Shut down..." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
