I have to agree with Miguel in the case where users are complaining about beeps at the bash prompt. For one thing, I can tell my users to google “bell-style” and empower them to resolve the issue :-)

Thanks for both the original post and the comments, good to know both approaches.

How to dissable pcspeaker in SUSE linux?
There is no pcskpr module!
I don’t want to do it via KDE, GNOME,… but in system way. Also I don’t want to dissable it only in console, but at all (in kernel or HAL). Is there some HAL way?

Many thanks

Thank you nixcraft, I basically camp the “reset mysql root password” page for cut and paste purposes, now the prompt doesn’t beep over pandora radio woo!

I think that removing the speaker driver is too strong an option. If the problem is that the terminal beeps at the bash prompt (I’m thinking about the user pressing TAB, with too many options you get a beep), it would be enough the following

$ echo “set bell-style none” > $HOME/.inputrc

After you open a new X terminal, it doesn’t beep
