Fedora :: How To Change Volume Of Terminal Alert Bell
Oct 14, 2009
How do you change the volume of the terminal alert bell in F11? (the sound you hear when you press the tab button). I turned the sound all the way down and muted the "Alert volume" in System>Pref>Sound but I still get a deafening bell sound whenever I press the tab button.
I'm using 10.04, and gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 . I have irssi running on screen session on remote host. And I've been struggling for quite many days to configure it to produce either visual feedback or ring terminal's bell when I receive a private message or one of those that are highlighted.
My compiz settings window in General tab has 'Audible bell' checked.
My GNOME terminal has 'Terminal bell' checked.
I also added 'set bell-style audible' to my ~/.inputrc
And I also tried to manually load pcspkr module into my kernel.
No of the above helped or at least I haven't been able to notice any difference.
I also used some commands for irssi to produce bell sign.
I've recently installed Xubuntu Lucid Beta2 on my new laptop. But I'm unable to turn the bell back on. The 'pcspkr'-module is removed from the blacklist and is loaded. However, 'alsamixer' doesn't show me any volume-options for the beep. However, 'echo -e "a"' still doesn't make a sound. I've installed the 'beep'-package, and it works, thus I am assuming that the hardware-bell itself does WORK fine. It's just deactivated/muted somewhere, and I can't find the option to turn it back on.
I recently replaced (fresh install) Fedora 12 by 13. Surprisingly I noticed there is no log-in sound for Gnome and also when I use command line terminal there is no terminal bell in spite of the fact that I checked the "Terminal Bell" option in the EDIT --> Preferences menu! I checked the speakers are not mute, I can play music. Any idea how to fix it?
Is there a way to default volume to 100% in the terminal with gnome-volume-control-applet or any other program? I am setting up a dedicated Zsnes machine which boots into Fluxbox but the volume is muted by default. There isn't a man page for gnome-volume-control-applet.
When I log into Gnome the volume is set to 100%, but Fluxbox is always set to mute.
I wanted to know if anyone had an idea or has heard of creating an email alert when a user changes the password on a samba user?I would like to be able to receive and alert if a user changes their samba password. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I will be attempting this on Arch Linux.
I'm running squeeze (last updated today), and everything has been working great. There is only thing that would simplify my life minutely..Anybody know how can I have the volume buttons on my laptop change the "pcm" channel volume rather than "master"? If they could control pcm, then I could adjust the volume coming out of my headphones or my computer speaker (both controlled by pcm, but not master...seems strange to me) with just one click.I tried to find this info online, but all results seem to refer to an older version. The simple "click here, set this" solution no longer is possible.
The space in the volume name seems to disagree with fstab and terminal, I can't change the volume name either as I do not have access to Windows at this time. Is there a way I can help fstab or the terminal to recognize the space in part of the volume name?
i try to install mac4lin, then i found it not nice, then i decided to uninstall it. everything is back to original fedora 12 theme, except this volume controller image. is there any way to change it back to original fedora 12 volume controller image?
Just wondering if anyone else experienced this. I have been using Ubuntu for half a year now and I love it. I just installed Kubuntu Desktop to try it out and I found that I can't get near as high volume with it than I do with Ubuntu. Ubuntu is even way louder than the Windows that used to be on here.
So why is there a change in the max of volume? I am a huge music person and that is the only thing holding me back from getting rid of gnome. I like how fresh and clean KDE is.
I have a Fedora 15/Ubuntu 11.04 dual boot. In Fedora, I just created a new logical volume. How do I ensure that anything I put in it - all files and folders - will be accessible in Ubuntu? II also want to be able to add files and folders in Ubuntu and then read and write them in Fedora...
Here's the output from "lvdisplay" for the logical volume in question: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/fedora/Everything VG Name fedora
[Code]....
/home/gwyn/Everything is the mount point for the logical volume. I got full access over all files in the LV.
But when I shutdown Fedora and start up Ubuntu, I have to run the same chmod command again. How can I make read/write permissions endure between both distros?
Sound is my #1 issue on F11. Most of the time I can't change the system wide volume setting by pressing the function keys on my laptop (the volume indicator doesn't even show up). When that happens (and I havent't been able to find out why and under what conditions that happens) the volume applet on my panel also becomes useless. Useless meaning that I can slide the slider up and down with no effect on the audible volume. I can still change the volume within the individul applications (rhythmbox, totem, ...) with success. Adjusting the volume via gst-mixer or pavucontrol does also works as expected. It's really just the volume keys and the panel applet that refuse to cooperate.
About this system (pretty standard intel_hda, no problems with F10)code...
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?
I've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.
However, I'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.
I'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.
A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.
I don't know much about lvm and I've managed to screw up a drive. I had a 500GB drive with FC14 on it and I wanted to copy over a load of data to my new 1TB that was replacing it. I set up my new install the same way as the old...including the same volume names (error number 1 I think) I successfully mounted the old/500GB drive (using vgscan and vgchange -a y etc.) using a laptop (running FC13) and an external hdd cradle. I could access the files I wanted but this wasn't the machine I wanted to copy them to (I was doing this while waiting for the install to finish on the new drive).
When I tried the same process on the new install I found that having two lvm with the same name meant I couldn't mount the external one. So I opened the disk utility (palimsest) and was going to change the name of the old volume group but it wouldn't let me do that. I then thought maybe I could get away with just changing the name of the partition where the files were and maybe I could add it to the mounted group or something so I changed it to lv_home2. This changed the name of my new/1TB lv_home to lv_home2 as well. So thinking that wasn't the answer I just changed the name of the new lv_home2 back to lv_home.
From that point on I haven't been able to see the old drives partitions (the new volume group still works so far). I has a physical volume but the volume group and volume names are gone from view. When I try to vgscan on my main computer or the laptop I had it working on earlier I get:
Ubuntu 10.04. I want to change the startup sound and the mail alert sound (incoming mail) for Evolution Mail Client. I go to System > Preferences > Sound, and all I get are themes preset. I do not have option to browse to wav files. I also do not see a browse option in Email Settings. Do I have to change an actual file?
I sue Fedora 13. Since a few times ago, every time when I start the computer, it appears a message of SELinux trouble shooter about a security alert. But most of times there are no errors to show.
Now I know that in order to change the colors in your terminal you have to play around with ~/.bashrc But the effects don't stay in place after a change-root is taken affect. It just reverts to black. Is there any way I can change that too in .bashrc?
I'm running f13 on eeeeeeepc netbook .... gnome and compiz The <FN> keys that control volume are not working, but brightness, for example, works fine. The keyboard settings in gnome do not seem to allow me to set the volume to the <fn> key combos.
Everytime I login the SELinux Troubleshooter panel applet alerts me that I have 1 alert to view, however when I click on the icon and bring up the Troubleshooter there are no alerts
I recently decided to try installing Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge from an old iso file I had floating around my hard drive. I first mounted the iso and copied the files from it into a folder. I then used Wine to install. Everything went according to plan until I went to run the game. When I tried running Red Alert 2 (original) an error message popped up: Error - Unable to set the video mode. When I tried running Yuri's Revenge the same thing happened with one small exception, the first couple of times I tried the Yuri's Revenge splash screen popped up before showing the error message. However the splash screen no longer pops up.
I wanted to change the name of one of volumes/partitions from "New Volume" to "Photos". I had two "new volumes" and it was getting confusing. Thinking this would be an easy process I went into nautilus (gksudo nautilus) and right-clicked on the icon representing the volume, selected Rename and typed in "Photos". I now cannot access that volume from Ubuntu but I can from Windows XP (where it is still labelled "New Volume). When I try to access it I get the error message: "Cannot mount Volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume 'New Volume' " This is the readout from fstab:
I want the volume to change when I plug in headphones, because my netbook's speakers are really quiet but the earbuds I have are really loud when I plug them in. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Netbook Edition on an Asus eeePC 1005HA, if that's important.
I have sound but my volume controls dont work on my asus laptop. If i goto system - pref - sounds it says its loading it and then it closes. Pulse audio says it cant connect. Ive also lost the volume control icon in the top right for some reason as well? The only thing ive done recent is install mp3 codecs. Now i half to manually reload the drivers for my volume to work after bootup.
is there a way to have my volume level change to a specified level when i insert my headphones to avoid having my ears blasted with music because i forget to turn the sound down when shutting off my computer last time? perhaps a alsa patch or a script?
i need to ask about some way on how i can change my volume up using my nmixer tool, really i find that i can make some commands like :
Code: nmixer -q -s pcm=70 nmixer -q -s pcm=100
so, here i put pcm and pcm2 volume to 70% and 100% respectively. but when i make some cronjob to this commands but some of bash scripts it doesn't deployed yet, here is my script :
