Can it be turned off ?
I guess it can, but I am not at my fedora system right now, so I can't check...
to my knowledge, no, it cannot be disabled. And why does it matter? It's
a single beep.
Its annoying. A beep should be an alert for something important. Its just
horrible UI work, fortunately its easy to hack out of the sources
Can we please just agree that it's important for some people while at
the same time annoying to others? A boolean BeepWhenReady option
shouldn't be that hard to implement to please both camps. Bonus points
for implementing Andy Green's idea:
Why not turn this into a PR pluspoint by, for at least the first boot,
making a little note on the login display explaining why the beep is
there (karma++) and how to turn it off if you are not visually
challenged, for extra points a checkbox right there and then.
