Get rid of the annoying beeps in Linux (Xubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft): Remove the pc speaker module "pcspkr".
Open a terminal and issue this command as root:
rmmod pcspkr
To prevent the "pcspkr" module from loading again at startup, open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with your favorite text editor (as root) and add following lines to the end of the file:
# disable the **** pc speaker blacklist pcspkr
Re-enabling the pc speaker
Temporarily activate it by loading the module (run this from a terminal with root privileges):
modprobe pcspkr
If you don't want to prevent the module from loading during startup, delete the lines from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist described in the previous section.
