Same problem with a fresh install of Intrepid on an x60s. The gconf editing solution from w1zard (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- session/+bug/290204/comments/12) does not work for me, but the blacklisting solution of Vytas (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- session/+bug/290204/comments/7) does.
I didn't know how to blacklist, but there's an explanation at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 which boils down to doing sudo sh -c 'echo blacklist pcspkr > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom' As the original poster mentioned, the Fast User Switch Applet doesn't have the beeping problem, so just using that to shutdown, instead of System -> Shut Down, is probably the easiest solution. -- Annoying beep on shutdown using "System -> Shut down..." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
