Kind of like the system bell which has been removed from Konsole. The
current work-around is to install the 'beep' package which is not
optimal as that command must be called for each shell completion.
After installing Kubuntu Karmic on the other partition, even beep was
mute. Turns out the Ubuntu people have now helpfully blacklisted the
'pcspkr' module. Grrrr. I've been around these infernal IBM clones
for 20 years now and that beep is burned into my psyche and when the PC
doesn't beep I assume something is wrong.
