Package: xterm Version: 253-1 Severity: normal
"echo -e '\a'" with visual bell off fails to illicit any sound. 1) "xkbbell" causes a beep 2) "beep" causes a beep (although of a different tone) 3) "echo -e '\a'" in "pterm" causes a beep (same as xkbbell) 4) Trying to search for a non-present string in firefox causes a beep (same as xkbbell) I'm using a kernel compiled from vanilla 2.6.32.8 sources and the pcspkr module from that to ensure console beeps. ~/.inputrc has "set bell-style audible" to ensure readline causes beeps The only output of "xrdb -query | grep -i bell" is: XTerm*visualBell: false If I toggle visual bell on in an xterm (using the Ctrl+Middle menu) and reissue "echo -e '\a'" I 'see' the beep. This was working until late last year. Unfortunately I didn't realise exactly when it stopped working (as I don't always perform an action that would cause such a beep on a day to day basis). The system has been tracking testing on a more or less daily basis since around June 2009. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.8 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libutempter0 1.1.5-2 A privileged helper for utmp/wtmp ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxft2 2.1.14-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.1.0-1 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.5+1+b1 X11 utilities ii xutils 1:7.5+3 X Window System utility programs m Versions of packages xterm suggests: ii xfonts-cyrillic 1:1.0.1 Cyrillic fonts for X -- debconf information: xterm/clobber_xresource_file: true xterm/xterm_needs_devpts: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
