kellydaysOn September 3rd 1939, the Allies declared war on Germany, leading to the subsequent half a decade long world war. Before Chamberlain died he revealed America and World Jews forced Britain into war against Germany (mentioned in The Forrestal Diaries from 1945.)00:49
Wayward_Vagabondis there a way to see what programs have made sound recently and possibly mute them?00:54
Wayward_VagabondSomething keeps making random beeps at random intervals00:54
mrkrampsWayward_Vagabond, terminal bell using the pc speaker?00:55
Wayward_VagabondI've never heard these beeps before though00:56
Wayward_VagabondIs there a way I could manually try and tirgger a bell to compare?00:57
Wayward_Vagabond*trigger00:57
mrkrampsi guess there is a simple cli tool named beep00:57
mrkrampsor try :$ printf "\a"00:58
Wayward_VagabondInstalled beep, it had no effect when ran00:58
mrkrampsoutput of:$ lsmod | grep pcspkr00:59
Wayward_VagabondThat returned no output01:00
mrkrampshmkay, so it is not the pc speaker01:00
Wayward_VagabondHrm, actually how hard would it be to enable the terminal beep? It'd be kinda neat for irssi to be able to request my attention, that is is xubuntu has provisions for per-program muting01:01
mrkrampsyou could check pavucontrol if pulseaudio lists playback01:03
mrkrampsdevices01:03
Wayward_VagabondHuh, I just noticed update manager is pestering me again, could that be related?01:03
mrkrampsi am not aware of a sound theme used in xubuntu01:04
Wayward_VagabondIt may be a website then01:05
mrkrampsusing firefox?01:05
Wayward_VagabondThough I have adblock, and nothing is running flash01:05
Wayward_Vagabondyes01:05
mrkrampsfirefox in recent versions have a volume icon on tabs with audio01:05
mrkramps--have ++has01:05
mrkrampsat least iirc01:06
mrkrampson some operting systems?01:06
mrkrampsoh, yt was muted ^^01:07
mrkrampsit definitely has this icon on all systems01:07
Wayward_VagabondIt did it again! D:01:20
Wayward_Vagabondmrkramps: it does for me, but it's only there /when/ the tab is making noise01:21
Wayward_VagabondIt's a breif beep, sometimes a single tone or sometimes 3 quick ones01:22
Wayward_VagabondIt doesn't let you know a tab has something capable of noise production01:22
mrkrampsweird01:23
mrkrampsand you're absolutely sure it is your computer beeping?01:25
Wayward_VagabondYes01:29
mrkrampsfrom the speaker/headset?01:30
Wayward_VagabondIt's playing over my speaker setup, two subs and 4 satelites aimes at me, quite easy to localize01:30
Wayward_Vagabond*aimed01:30
mrkrampsdo you have another desktop environment installed alongside xfce?01:30
Wayward_VagabondI know all the sounds my phone could make, it;s not them, plus it's in the other room turned off01:30
Wayward_Vagabondnegative01:30
mrkrampsis it a laptop?01:31
Wayward_VagabondI have a few file manager instances open, xarchiver, a couple document viewer, irssi in screen, and fx01:32
Wayward_Vagabondrunning right now01:32
Wayward_VagabondYes, laptop01:32
mrkrampshm, battery maybe?01:33
Wayward_VagabondPlugged in, and power manager never makes sounds01:33
Wayward_VagabondJust the noise of everything spinning down followed by no background noise when it runs out of juice01:34
mrkrampsWayward_Vagabond, are you running Irssi with sound notifier?01:35
Wayward_Vagabondno01:37
Wayward_VagabondAnd the beeps have no correlations with hilites01:38
mrkrampsWayward_Vagabond, your laptop's brand and model?01:39

Wayward_VagabondNever heard hardware sounds other than a beep at startup and the fan01:40
mrkramps_Wayward_Vagabond, do you have a builtin modem01:46

mrkrampsinternet says it might be the harddrive oO01:49
mrkrampsyou could run a hdd check with smartmontools01:50

mrkrampssame here, different model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svvZ70_H2wM01:56
Wayward_VagabondNo, and no02:24
Wayward_VagabondThe latter one is a windows noise I think02:24
