Hummingbird's exceed settings

[Shivkumar]

Hi,

I am using hummingbird's exceed client to connect to unix servers.

I sometime use bash shell. Whenever I use j or k key to access previous commands, the internal speaker of the laptop produces
too much sound. I have turned off speaker by clicking on mute checkbox on windows xp status bar but still i hear the sound from the speaker.

I don't know how to turn off internal speaker. It producind the sound when i use exceed client's only.

Seems like there could be some settings to turn off sound from speaker in exceed.

Appreciate your help if someone can provide some clue.

Thanks,
Shiv

in the control panel of CDE, select the "Style Manager" (icon w/ mouse and color palette), select "Beep", set volume to zero and click OK.

Then, click "StartUp", "Set Home Session" and "OK" (twice) to save all settings

i am using exceed client "Hummingbird Connectivity 10" on my laptop and do not have access to CDE control panel.

yep, that's exactly the setup I use. I've never been able to get the "beep" disabled, except by turning off "beep" on each of the servers I connect to.

do you use and inputrc file? if so, add

"set bell-style none"

from the man page on bash, this modifies the behaviour of what readline will do when it tries to ring the bell.

i am using .bashrc

Try using:

xset -b

BTW: If that resolves the problem, you can place 'xset -b' in your .profile
