Pcspeakerdisable
This page is dedicated to disabling the PC speaker on LTSP thin-clients. PC speakers can be very annoying, especially upon login when users attempt to use the numeric keypad and the NumLock key isn't enabled, causing a system beep. Multiply this by 35 thin-clients in a computer lab, and you have enough reason to jump off a cliff. ;)
We can disable LTSP client PC speakers by creating a file that will blacklist the pcspkr kernel module from loading upon thin-client bootup.
First, create a file: /opt/ltsp/arch/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-pcspkr:
sudo vim /opt/ltsp/arch/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-pcspkr
blacklist-pcspkr:
# Blacklists PC Speaker module (pcspkr)
blacklist pcspkr
Update the client chroot image:
sudo ltsp-update-image
Reboot thin-clients, and enjoy a beep-less LTSP environment.
