| |
I've run into the following not severe but annoying problem while using Linux at night in a student hostel: I couldn't find a simple way to disable all sounds(beeps) that sounds e.g. when I mistype a filename and press tab to complete it.
I know that's bash's part not to beep on errors but I think that would be useful to implement an ioctl (or something, I don't know the kernel's internals) to allow a user program to control whether the programs can beep or not. I've looked at the termcap file too, but all I've found was the choice between visual or audible bell. I couldn't find out how to tell the system that I don't want either.
If this problem is already solved, pls tell me where I can find that FM I should have read.
Thanks in advance Endre
