Allow bell for only one terminal

  • 772

I am using mcabber via ssh, and using mcabber bell for sound of incoming message. In windows I used kitty it allows you to set audio file for terminal bell. In linux I still want to hear mcabber incomming messages.

Do you know a terminal emulator that allows you to set audio file for bell or do you know how to activate system bell but just for 1 terminal window?

Please do not advise solutions like using mcabber api and sockets to transfer event to client pc. I want to use ssh bell in this solution, like it was working on windows.

command-line

  1. To activate the speaker driver that produce beeps only for current session use the following command in terminal:

     sudo modprobe pcspkr

    To disable it again, run:

    sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
