Disable pcspkr module on Fedora
Tonight I was updating a laptop to F11, did some tab completion and almost had a heart attack from the way too loud beep that hammered my ears. Obviously this should never happen again so next step was disabling this deafening beep.
In the good ol’ days you disabled the beep from hammering your ears during tab completion by adding or uncommenting “set bell-style none” in /etc/inputrc. Since I don’t know if that still works I figured I might as well prevent the pcspkr module from loading in the first place with:
# echo “blacklist pcspkr” > /etc/modprobe.d/pcspkr.conf
# rmmod pcspkr
Enjoy the peace and quiet!
