FYI, I am using a Linux Mint Isadora distribution and I tried to run org-mode both in a console-session of emacs (emacs -nw) and in an emacs GUI. I have tried to set an audible reminder for my appointments using: (setq appt-audible t) For some reason, this does not seem to work (the visible reminder works just fine). I am sure it does not have to do with volume as it works fine with other apps. BTW, the code I am using is collected from various threads and given that I know next to nothing in LISP, I can safely assume that this is probably the reason the whole audible reminder thing is not working.... I was wondering whether anyone out there could provide a bit of code to set audible reminders in org-mode (preferably working in a console too). I am teaching young people to use emacs and org-mode to do their research and running emacs in a console is probably the best thing to do to to stop them from getting distracted from menus, toolbars and other things!

The first question: Does your computer "beep" under other circumstances? It's very likely that Linux Mint disables the beep by default. What is the result the following command produce? lsmod | grep pcspkr If pcspkr is enabled, you might want check the value of the following options with M-x describe-variable.... visible-bell ring-bell-function Best, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

It simply shows the next prompt (if I am using the correct terminology - I am new in emacs and Linux!). I was able to change the value of the visible bell but I was not able to find a corresponding option for the ring-bell-function. More specifically, the former comes up with a menu/button inside the buffer, which, if selected, allows one to modify value of the visible-bell. The latter (i.e., the ring-bell-function) does not offer such an option. Any suggestions are more than welcome. Maybe it is the distribution that disables the audible bell.

Just to say I do have sound emitted by my laptop, though I don't have the above module loaded (just checked your command). Maybe grepping on `snd' would give interesting feedback? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [sva@mundaneum] ~>lsmod | grep -i snd snd_hda_codec_realtek 203310 1 snd_hda_intel 21941 2 snd_hda_codec 74201 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 5412 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm_oss 35308 0 snd_mixer_oss 13746 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 70662 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 1338 0 snd_seq_oss 26726 0 snd_seq_midi 4557 0 snd_rawmidi 19056 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 6003 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 47263 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 19098 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 5700 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 54148 16 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 6620 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7076 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best regards, Seb -- Sébastien Vauban _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

This should activate the system beep if your distribution has turned it off. Best, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
