And in trunk You need to have the bell mode set to system notification in KDE 3. Settings -> Bell Mode -> System Notification. Works correctly in trunk, where 'system notification' is the only available bell mode. You mean opposite, right? In order to get beep I have to turn off notifications? Anyway, no matter what I set it doesn't work. Even the test in KControl does not work. > You mean opposite, right? In order to get beep I have to turn off notifications? I think the default 'beep' uses the notification to play the sound effect anyway. > Even the test in KControl does not work To clarify, the sound preview in the "Settings -> Configure Notifications" dialog doesn't work? In that case, this is a problem elsewhere. Regards, Robert. Maybe I'll start again :-) In Konsole echo -e "\a" does not work (there is no beep). In KControl there is a beep dialog, the test of the beep does not work. In Konsole setting notification for a beep does not work (but testing the audio for notification work). (1) and (2) are related to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56903 So the leaves us with the original report -- Konsole does not notify user about beep. > In KControl there is a beep dialog, the test of the beep does not work.
In which case I do not think the problem is in Konsole. The beep code there is very simple - it just calls KNotify to make a beep noise.
It is not only Konsole problem, I don't have PCspeaker so it is hard to make a "classic" beep. Anyway, the attempt should be recognized and notification should work, right? > It is not only Konsole problem, I don't have PCspeaker

You're complaining that you don't get a beep sound when you don't have a speaker? Of course you won't hear anything.
Robert, it is not about beep, but beep _notification_. Beep notification is not done by checking the microphone if there is some beep in PCSpeaker, right? I could have as well all audio turned off, but notification about making sound should work. Besides, what about deaf people -- no matter what hardware they have, they can rely only on notifications (visual I guess). Since Robert Knight already closed this bug (and you're disrespecting a developer's decision again, see my email back in April), and since I cannot reproduce the problem, I'm closing this bug. Robert closed the bug because of another reason (so it is not disrespecting anybody's decision, but misunderstanding) -- missing pcspeaker is not a reason for notifications not to work (see KControl or SS, I can emulate beep as well). To clarify your WORKSFORME -- you set up notification about beep in console to play audio file "broken glass" (example) and to flash a screen, then when you type: echo -e "\a" there is "broken glass" played and the screen flashes. Is this correct? |
