the old question: how to disable the beep ?
still the old question (didn't find the satisfied answer in the forum)

how to disable the awful beep in linux workstation?

i tried this: /etc/inputrc -〉set bell-style none

but it can only disable the beep whenever you input wrongly in the console. in some othercases, i still can hear the awful beep.

If the PC speaker driver is compiled as a module, you can do
Code:
# rmmod pcspkr

to turn it off. Otherwise, you can recompile the kernel to take it out. Or, just disconnect the speaker.
