Stop the Beep on the Shutdown Button

[OtherRob]

Hello.

My laptop beeps whenever I hit the shutdown button and I’d like to turn it off. A thread named “​Manjaro XFCE disable system beep” (I wasn’t able to link to the thread) said to enter this code in the terminal:

echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf

This worked for the OP, but when I tried it I got this error message:

sudo: tee/etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf: command not found

How do I turn off the beep?

Thanks.

This worked for the OP, but when I tried it I got this error message:

sudo: tee/etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf: command not found

There’s a missing space between tee and the directory /etc, so the system thinks that it’s all part of the command’s name. That’s why you’re getting that error message.

Alternative approach…

sudo su -
echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
exit

You’ll need to reboot after that.

…there are several approaches, see here in the arch wiki .
If one does not work for you try another.

That was it. Thanks.
