Annoying system beep

[Kjartan]

So I just recently threw Fedora 8 on my laptop and got it configured all dandy.

Now whenever I hit a key too many times it beeps at me. And when my login comes up it beeps at me. And when I click too many times it beeps at me. And it just beeps at me. Mind you, this is a laptop and is the system speaker (and I really don't feel like tearing the thing apart)

Is there anyway to disable this annoyance? Because, believe me, when the lady friend is trying to sleep it's not fun...

Have you tried the following: modprobe -r pcspkr ; echo "install pcspkr :" >>/etc/modprobe.conf? you have to do this as root user disable the PC speaker system wide. it is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common and was a known common issue in FC6. May be it got somehow enabled again in your system.

I had exactly the same problem. I fixed it with

System | Preferences | Hardware | Sound | System Beep

HTH

[option]

i had that same issue, and trying to disable it through the System | Preferences | Hardware | Sound | uncheck "enable system beep" did not work for me.

After a few google searches, i found that typing

$ xset -b

seemed to do the trick.
