Ubuntu :: Can't Enable Terminal Beep Sound / Make It Possible?
Sep 19, 2010I've been using my girlfriend's Mackbook Pro and really like the beep sound when pressing backspace at a command prompt and really would like to have it on my ubuntu. However, I've checked "Terminal bell" option in the profile settings, but there is still no beep sound. What am I missing here?

Nov 2, 2010I have a habit of watching videos when I go to sleep. So I decided to start using, for example, the following when I laid down:
sudo shutdown -h -P 60
Of course this shuts down the computer in an hour. I was wondering if there was a way I could get the computer to beep a few times for the last 10 Minutes and then a few more times for the last 5 minutes?
General :: Disable The Terminal Beep When Running The Shutdown Command?
Sep 3, 2009I've used the following script here: [URL] to upgrade Alsa to 1.0.21 in Ubuntu 8.04. Now whenever I run:
Code:
sudo shutdown -h <time> or sudo reboot from the terminal I get a rather annoying beep sound. What's even more annoying is if I use the shutdown command to specify a time I get a beep every 10 minutes or so.
I've tried disabling the terminal beep in the terminal profile, disabling the beep in System/Preferences/Sound, adding "blacklist pcspkr" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and running gconf-editor from the terminal and setting /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/bell_mode to 'off' rather than 'on'.

Feb 9, 2010I'm running ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell XPS M1530. Sometimes i get a _VERY_ loud beep-sound, eg when i run out of battery or, the case that has me coming here when i'm working in a virtual terminal (tty1-6) and hit backspace once too often, that is, when the command line is actually empty.Not that big of a deal you might think, but, especially when you're wearing good (read: possibly loud) headphones the experience is that god damn unpleasant that i'd like to make sure it won't happen again.Oh and well, just hitting mute (in gnome, which doesn't have a lot to do with tty1 anyways) won't do the job.

Jan 17, 2010My server is headless, so I'd like to make it beep when it finishes booting. Some posts in the forum seem to indicate this is the default setting, but my box has no sound when login prompt appears. The speaker does work since it beeps once at the start of the booting process (probably BIOS' doing). "lsmod | grep pcspkr" shows "pcspkr 7105 0", lspci shows nothing related to speaker.
Also I'd like to know how I can test the speaker from command line (remote ssh terminal), will echo -e "007" work?

I'm talking about the one that will beep from inside the computer even if you have headphones plugged in.

Jul 22, 2010There are a couple commands I want to run in a terminal that require me to provide my password. I really don't want those commands ending up in any kind of history or anywhere else where they could be seen by someone after the command was run. Are there any shells/terminals for Ubuntu that I could use (or options to bash/zsh/etc) that would give me a secure environment where I don't have to worry about my history being kept?

This probably sounds like a stupid question but I'm having a lot of trouble clearly differentiating between a shell (such as Bourne or bash) and the Terminal application in GNOME. I realise that both are completely different but I can't seem to find a clear answer written in text. Could anyone clearly distinguish between both?

Does it refer to the screen that is in-front of me whilst I post this question or does it refer to something specific?EDITI came across a similar post at What are the differences between shell , console & terminal? and it seems to be similar to the one I posted although am still confused about the use of the sentence Decades ago, this was a physical device consisting of little more than a monitor and keyboard.

General :: Copy / Paste Output From Shell (not Terminal)?
Jul 15, 2010I often have issues starting my window manager--xfce. My computer misbehaves in one of 3 ways, one of which is to fail to open X, but generate several screens of info. I want to paste that info to this site, but since I'm in the shell, not the terminal (please correct my vocabulary if it's wrong here), I don't know how to copy and paste the output, since right-clicking doesn't give me a menu. Even if I could copy I'm not sure the information would be accessible in X. Are there any other options?

Mar 24, 2011I notice that my bittorrent client is capable of automatically setting up port forwards with my router, and I want to know if I can do the same in a shell script. The reason is, that since my router is stupid and won't let me keep static IP addresses (it seems they forced a DHCP refresh every week to make me want to pay for a more expensive model which doesn't), I need to get my computer to change the port forward to follow my computer's changing internal network IP address. I have a couple of port forward manually entered into my router settings for web interfaces to bittorrent etc, but of course these have a good chance of being invalidated at each DHCP refresh cycle.

Jul 27, 2011I am setting up a cron job, where i am calling a shell script to make few builds. I got struck at a point, need some expert inputs to proceed further. The script is categorized in 5 parts and in the last part while building software it asks for few questions like:-
1. Build mode choice
2. normal build
3. Copy Images
4. Arch
User manually has to input ans for these questions:-
1
yes
n

The ans's are fixed and this won't change. How shall i hard-code them or do something in the script so as when script flow reaches to this point it automatically take's these value. So far the cron job is not getting completed as it's waiting for user to key in these values manually. I had faced similar issue while building kernel modules but there it was easier as i had to take default values always:-

General :: How To Make My Terminal Look Like
Apr 5, 2011I ran across this the other day and was instantly amazed.He says he uses a custom Vim colorscheme (easy) and dwm with tmux. I've downloaded tmux and I'm having some issues with it (my CTRL-b hotkey wont work), but I'm confused at how to start designing something similar to what he has done.My idea is to get my terminal to look like this, then remove KDE from my laptop so that all my computer is is this awesome thing.
How should I go about starting modeling something like this? In the picture, what does tmux handle and what does dwm handle? Speaking from someone who has never used any of them.
