Disabling the system beep.

Ok folks. Here is a quick and easy way to disable the system beep on linux machines... Those of you who know what i'm talking about know how annoying it can be. I couldn't even tolerate it for a half day (and I'm a really patient guy).

The following is an excerpt from ArsGeek.

You can disable this by editing a file and entering two simple lines.

gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

And then add:

#silly speaker beep
blacklist pcspkr

Save your file and the speaker beep will be gone when you reboot.

If you don’t want to wait until a reboot, simply type:

sudo rmmod pcspkr

Introducing CRUZER45

Hi Folks... I finally decided that it is about time I created my blog. From time to time I came across stuff that I thought I'd like to share with other people but never took the time to write.

So... Just so you know... This blog is gonna be about lots of stuff but mainly Java programming and Linux experiments.
