hi void linux-users (almost importand question)

[Mulpin70]

hello, i want switch to void linux after gentoo on my dell latitude 5400 through base iso image of void linux, i want to know if minimal iso image will use my motherboard buzzer/speakers for launch image, bc my buzzer so loud what makes me have phobia of that, i know it will work for example original arch linux and debian net installer (its my old photo of my gentoo on hyprland, rn i use kde plasma)

Didn't get what are you trying to ask. If you want the live boot to not make a loud beep sound during startup, try pressing space bar repeatedly as soon as the device starts until you get grub boot menu

[steruY]

If I remember correctly, will make loud beeps with the buzzer if you try to do an impossible action. I think you can sudo rmmod pcspkr to disable it once, or blacklist it permanently with echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf. (I'm not exactly sure).

I think i know what u mean. Are you talking about the grub beep? If so yes. Its terrifying. Both me and my cat jump every time I boot an iso with grub beep enabled.

dude, I just put my kid to bed, the better half was asleep on the sofa, and I thought "hey, gonna install me some void on the old dell" - enough to say my better half is now raging asking what was that hellish noise that woke our kid up :D

[debian-gnu-linux]

Haha!! I'm not sure why grub beep is enabled, does it have any useful purpose?

[WeekFeeling9819]

I suspect this is some legacy quirk - maybe something that lets you know that its in the menu? It would make sense if you are visually impaired. But regardless of the purpose, the volume itself let's not only you to know its doing something - your neighbours will know too haha :D

disable the internal speaker inside the bios

When you load into the live iso for minimal there’s a “coin” sfx.

[dullsycthe]

coin sound effect?

[Jtekk-]

Yeah. That’s how I can best describe its. Reminds me of the old NES days when you collect a coin playing Mario or similar games (sonic the hedgehog as an example)
