Is there any way to stop bash's incessant beeping?

[Chaotic42]

It's driving me *freakin* nuts. I'm about ready to rip the damned PC speaker off the motherboard.

Any ideas?

Add or modify the line in /etc/inputrc to say

set bell-style none

Click on the settings menu select bell. From the flyout menu make sure a check is next to the none option. I am using the bash shell in Mandrake. Hope this helps.

Eraser.

Tried it, no dice.

eraser, thanks for the reply, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm using Debian Testing. Never used Mandrake before

eraser is refering to KDE konsole I believe.

That's very odd - I'm also using Sarge, and it works for me. Are you sure that line isn't commented out in /etc/inputrc? Do you have an .inputrc file in your home directory overriding the system settings? Is there an INPUTRC environment variable set?

You are referring to the beeps for things like tab completion, right?

Yep.

I don't think so, but I rebooted to Windows now, so I can't check right away

Yeah. Annoying as heck.

Nah, I'm in the "testing to see which of my computer components are broken" phase. I like the beeper for that. Just not for everything with bash. Maybe I can grab the source and take out it's calls to the beeper.

Any more ideas?
