After the Lxde session started I run a script [attached]. One thing done by the script is enabling the PC speaker beep. If the script run for one time launched in lxterminal, the bell doesn't work. Nothing pulseaudio related is shown by ps aux and lsmod shows that pcspkr is loaded after the script run. All changes applied to lxterminal and xfce4-terminal are applied, I just need to close and open lxterminal, resp. just open xfce4-terminal for the first time. However, the bell doesn't work. If I run the script for the second time, the bell works, even without closing and opening a terminal again, but not before I closed and opened lxterminal one time. If a mechanism would lock something as long as lxterminal is opened, just closing and reopening the terminal should do the trick. I don't understand why it works, if I close and reopen the terminal + run the script a second time. As far as I can see nothing in this script and the 126428 similar scripts I tested before, does something related to the issue. Nothing that already is killed, purged and loaded gets killed, purged or loaded a second time. Any idea how I could enable the bell by running a script just one time?

Also... you might need to use setterm setterm --bleangth 1000 maybe even the --bfreq option... Just some guesses... I have never tried to enable the beep personally, only disable it :D <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Regards</pre> </body> </html>
