Debian :: Get Buzz Sounds When Reboot Or Hit Backspace In Terminal?
Jan 29, 2011
I get annoying buzz sounds when I reboot or hit backspace in terminal when there is no text. It is not coming from the speaker (it happens when the computer is muted). I posted part of this a while ago, but have not been using Debian much recently (had too much school stuff to have time to set it up). running lspci -k and below is my result
lenny gives me either system sounds, or other sounds like flash plugin sounds like videos, cd playback etc., but not both. to hear videos i have to disable system sounds. as soon as i tick enable software sound mixing (esd) in system -> preferences -> sound -> sounds, videos goes. a message saying it could not open the resource as something else is using it comes up when trying to play a cd. sounds like a threading problem in some program. what should i do to get sounds to be equitably shared by all?
I installed Debian Squeeze yesterday and I got almost everything working except for the backspace key in any browser I've tried..I'm running it on HP Mini 210 if that can help w/ something and one more i tried upgrading it to testing but a verry long and boring text file appears and to close it and continue, i have to press the end button the problem is that i do not have one .. i've tried every single other key on the keyboard - still nothing.
In windows, using firefox you can use backspace key to navigate back pages in history. Now in Debian - I try and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to change that?
I've been using opensuse for about a week.(although I'm not completely a linux noob) I've been slowly moving more of the stuff I do on windows over to suse. I thought my sound was working fine until I decided to get mp3s running on amarok. I followed a bunch of guides which didn't work. While I was messing around with stuff I noticed a startup noise. I just assumed it didn't have a startup noise. At some point I broke all of my sound except running wine, so I reinstalled.
Now that I've noticed, none of my notification sounds work. Stuff like skype, firefox, and wine still give me sounds.
(If anyone could point me in the direction of a good place to get mp3s working on amarok would be nice as well.)
I have a HP laptop model HP G72 Notebook PC, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @2.27GHz & the Sound devices are Intel(R) Display Audio & Realtek High Definition Audio.
This machine came loaded with Windows7 & I have successfully dual booted it with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.3.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get the sound to work at all in Ubuntu. No opening sounds or anything else that I have tried. No Web sounds, no CD sounds... All sounds work fine on the Windows side, but nothing I have tried so far seem to work with Ubuntu & I have tried many options from many threads.
I love my new HP Mini netbook, but every time I click 'shut down', there is this horrible buzzing sound that comes out of the speakers. I have the sound muted, but still the sound comes blaring out. This is very disruptive in class and I get a lot of nasty looks. If I have headphones plugged in, the sound blares through the headphones, even if sound is muted.
I'm thinking that this is a problem with PulseAudio.I searched and there are two previous posts: here and here. The second one says 'SOLVED', but obviously it is not.I'm running UNR Karmic.
I'm extremely new at Linux but managed to get Alsa .023 installed on my HTPC and sound working in xbmc. However, every 10-15 seconds when playing audio over HDMI, i get a short burst of static (maybe 0.5 seconds). The static does not interfere with the audio track. I have tried running my laptop using the same cable/tv/port and its fine (win7). Listening through the analog connection on the mobo with headphones produces no such noise. The noise happens with any audio such as ..... or xbmc.

For some time now, my laptop makes a quick but loud buzz sound when I shutdown or restart it. Muting my sounds doesn't fix it. Before, it didn't do this. It just started one day and got worse till it happened everytime I shutdown or restart.
Going to preferences > sounds > changing sound theme to no sounds helped a bit and after doing this, it doesn't happen all the time anymore. This is quite disturbing especially when I'm in libraries. What worries me the most though is that it might affect my speaker.
I have two 32-bit boxes here at work on a windows network. Box A I set up a couple months ago with Squeeze. Box B has a fresh install of Squeeze and I want to transfer all my /home and info/setting from Box A to Box B. I have Box B set up with /home on it's own partition. Is this as easy as using rsync over the network? Or would scp be better?
when a notification sound is played, skype mutes all other sounds and it's very annoying. There is only one sound device 'PulseAudio server' in skype options so I can't choose another. I use Debian 8
I am on testing, using alsa and i have sound in players, login, flash, skype.....Exept window`s and buttons.
In sounds preferences, there are buttons to test the various system sounds. In this window the checkboxes for Enable sytem sound and Play System Sounds are selected. When I click the various buttons to test the sounds (default sound, drop etc. ) i hear sound themes. But when i close windows and use buttons there is no sound.
There's this low monotone electronic buzz coming out of my speakers. But only if the greater part of my screen is using lighter colors! Meaning, if for instance I have the terminal (black) full-screen there is no buzz. If I have it sized over the half of my screen there's a medium buzz. And if I am on the Google Search home page with the browser full screen (most of the screen white) there's a loud buzz. :SAnd it's only if I run the sound through my amplifier. It's not audible if I just use the laptopspeakers. Really, I have no idea even in what direction to start looking.
I recently gave XFCE a try, after using Openbox for a long time and I really like it, so that I think I will switch totally to XFCE. All is working fine, except one thing: I really would like to have event sounds.
So I launched the Appearance-Module and checked under the Settings-tab both Enable event sounds and Enable input feedback sounds. Following the tooltip for the event sounds I also installed libcanberra, but I get absolutely no event sound.
[Code]...
I thought, maybe there is a lack of a sound theme, so I also installed freedesktop-sound-theme, but that didn't help. I did already searched with Google and in this forum, but have found nothing that would help me. I would be very happy if anyone can give me an advice what to check or has a link to a tutorial for this sounds.
Is there a way of changing the loud thump that announces the gdm login screen in Squeeze to something else? At the moment I cannot see how this can be easily done, other than turn event sounds off, which I don't want to do. Have I missed something? There seems to be very little event sound customisation in Squeeze, compared to Lenny.Also is there a way of getting Squeeze to play a short exit sound on logout or reboot? I know how to turn off the annoying system beep, that is there at the moment.
I did an automatic update and rebooted this morning and I now have a bit of a nightmare situation where I can't open the majority of applications, including the terminal. When I rebooted, my desktop loaded as normal, but then when I try to open the terminal (from Applications -> Accessories or from my quick launch panel), nothing happens other than the quick launch panel disappears for a second then reappears. This is the case for most other apps, but not for Chrome (obviously).
EDIT: Used Alt+F2 to open the terminal, ran safe upgrade and then rebooted, but still having the same issue. As Ubuntu was booting, there was a "Broken pipe" message, which didn't stop the boot process but is still a bit worrying. I've run a file system check but this hasn't resolved the problem either.
Two or three times on a daily basis it just freezes and I do not know why. For example, I am doing some minor coding, surfing the web and just some regular stuff and suddenly, out of nowhere, it just freezes. I cannot force reboot, cannot shutdown, cannot run, cannot enter terminal, nothing. Totally helpless. Only physical reboot do the work. Never had this issue before.
Is there a command i can enter into the terminal or over an SSH session to make an Ubuntu system reboot a few hours later? Sometimes I want to reboot my server and it should take place in the middle of the night when I'm asleep.

this has been driving me crazy all week, no matter what I try it just wont work.I have written a script that installs several programs, half way through it requires the machine to be rebooted.what I've been trying do do without success, is when the system restarts a terminal window opens and the script resumes.I've googled this, and it seems other people have aslo tried and failed to acheive the desired result.ok, I know it would be easy to just run the script without the terminal window (using cron @reboot or rc.local), but I really need the verbose output as the user must make 2 selections on the remaing installations.
I'm trying out Konqueror on Debian Lenny. I'm annoyed by the sounds it plays along with message boxes (for instance: sound of a breaking glass on message boxes showing an error). I can't neither find any setting for that nor I've been able to find some general setting.
I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with my sound in OpenSuSE. I put in a brand new Audigy chipset soundcard and finally got some sound to come out of the speakers. I used the guide here: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE. to fix the permissions on my sound and am able to get sound-test to play sounds as well as connect to the sound device in my vmware and play sounds. That being said, I have terrible sound quality coming out. There is a lot of static sound like white noise and the volume of the actual sound played is very low compared to the noise. The sounds also distort somewhat.
I have tried the pulse audio change in the tutorial above also and have been searching around google. The only problem that I saw similar was a person who fixed the problem by updating KDE. I don't have KDE, I'm using Afterstep.
I added a whole slew of apps to my favorites and lost the 'Shutdown' option...every time I try to shutdown in the Terminal I am told I must be logged in as Root to do so...I can't figure out how to do this I'm a newbie to Linux but a CNE 5 -haven't used it 10 years- an MCP and A+ certified I've searched local help and SuSe's site and I can't find anythingI've only spent a couple of hrs on this and have had SuSe 11.2 installed since last Sunday
I have my ubuntu box hard wired into my network. It all works fine, until I reboot my ubuntu box. After reboot, it can no longer see the network. I have it set up with a static ip. Not sure that I set it up completely correctly but it works fine...when working.. To fix the problem, I enter terminal: ifup eth0 That fixes all know problems until next reboot. What do I need to do so that it will remember settings and automatically be hooked into the network at power up?
who installed nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 10.04 and gets a terminal screen on reboot with no GUI.I came across this fix trying to install the drivers on Ubuntu 10.10. later i find that the same thing happens to me on 10.04 but one of the fixes i came across works perfect with it. Ok, so you just installed ubuntu 10.04 updated it through update manager and installed your nvidia drivers but when you rebooted and tried to log on you find yourself in a terminal interface well i found an easy fix for that.
i hope it works for you not saying it will though im new to the linux world only just coming out of windows and i dont know much anyways just log on the terminal and use command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then run nvidia-xconfig command reboot and you should be fine only wish this would work for ubuntu 10.10
I mainly use debian jessie , recently i have installed daragora as my second os to get a feel of gnu/linux . the problem is that dragora uses bash , and it's commands are different from debian jessie terminal is there a way that i can use the same commands here in dragora?
gnome-terminal from the Debian squeeze does not use the 'default_size_columns' and 'default_size_rows' from the /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/ folder of gconf.
I'm looking for some information about termcap and terminfo... I've got some, but the problem is that some things confuse me... I thought every terminal and terminal emulator should be there, but many of the terminal emulators I use are not there.. Is this different between distributions?
