I am running SuSE 9.0 here, but I've seen this on other distros When in either a tty session on a shell using konsole I have a really annoying warning bleep when I do certain things, an example is pressing backspace when there is nothing to backspace to of if I try to tab complete something that does not exist. In konsole it is using the soundcard and on the tty sessions it uses the PC speaker. How do you get rid of it ? Regards Wayne

Check on google for this, I am sure there is a solution somewhere (Probably the most popular question ;) C

If nothing else, "xset b 0" should work for X (but maybe konsole does something fun to play sound clips) and it's some option to setterm for the console IIRC. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

Assuming you are using bash: rjk$ cat .inputrc set bell-style none -- http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/

Cool ive been wondering about this but have been too lazy to ask ALUG or Google. =-) Any one got a good link about adding color to bash?
well, I think most distros do this already but putting 'alias ls="ls --color=always" in the appropriate bash rc file will make some pretty colours appear whenever you type 'ls'. The latest(ish) verson of morphix (or knoppix, I forget) displays an image in the background of the terminal, behind all the text, which looks quite nice. I'll be damned if I know how to do it though. Or get some coloured transparent plastic and stick it to your screen.

Yes, and it really gets up my nose! :-) The first thing I do after installing a new version of Linux is to turn off that LS colour highlighting. Apart from anything else on anything but a dark background some of the colours are all but illegible.

That sounds like a good recipe for making text illegible too! Why do people do it? The whole point of a good terminal window is to make the text as legible as possible. Maybe people don't use text mode terminal windows as much as they used to.

Probably just as effective at making things illegible! :-) -- Chris Green (chris@areti.co.uk)

its a frame-buffer background image, specified in the kernel or grub i think for a virtual terminal. under X, most terminal emulators do backgrounds my favorite Eterm, does a random, sensibly-dark background image, or my favorite, can go transparent and show the desktop background (darkened) through it. Given my desktop background is a current (live) view of the world complete with current clouds and sattelite tracks and horizons on it, (xplanetbg) this looks quite nice.

Total disaster for me, all my terminal windows are set up to display dark text on a light background, I'm afraid I'm an old fogey, I just want minimal distraction on my desktop. -- Chris Green (chris@areti.co.uk)
