Confirmed on Gutsy stable (updated from Feisty), installed on a HP XE3-gc -laptop. (i386)
It starts to make the noise pretty early on the startup (during splash). I removed 'splash' from grub, it started it only in the login screen. Then stopped, and started, stopped and started again and kept making the noise all the way. When shutting down, it stops when around 75% of the shutdown is done (the progress bar). Restarted once again, put acpi=force, sound's gone and everything works.. weird.. Hope this helps you. The laptop is not mine, I don't have proper access to it so I might have some difficulties to provide more information dmesg attached from a run where it made the noise. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10210064/dmesg.txt -- Loud beep when installing feisty-desktop-i386 on DQ965COEKR motherboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
