Re: Disabling GNOME loud beep at shutting down

[Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net>]

Did you test if there will be no beep after removing the driver for this
PC beep thingy? Removing it might disable the terminal bell and some
notification beeps. I guess here it isn't loaded by default, but IIRC
the BIOS anyway gives information by beeps.

modprobe -r pcspkr

I don't like desktop sample sounds, but sometimes a beep by this beep
thingy can be useful. If I should enable beeps and it should be to loud
and there shouldn't be a way to make it silent by software, I would use
some heat resistant fabric to cover this beep thingy.
