GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 71198
keyboard icon doesn't work
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: control-center Severity: normal Version: 1.5.12 Synopsis: keyboard icon doesn't work Bugzilla-Product: control-center Bugzilla-Component: keyboard Description: - click on control center icon - see a popup with "apply" and "close" - and that's it. With other icons, I also get the apply/close popup but it quickly disappears and then the appropriate control window apears. It seems like this popup shouldn't be appearing in any case. Anyway, the keyboard bell sound is now fixed to the kinda loud and annoying default and I can't change it back to to what it was before the control center icon ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-02-11 12:59 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, tvgm@ximian.com.
This works here, but is fairly serious. Scott, what happens if you run keyboard-properties from the control line?
NEEDINFO; works here. Still seeing a problem, Scott?
At the time of this bug report, when I typed keyboard-properties, I got the same result as when I clicked the keyboard icon (no pael for controlling keyboard properties). After several Red Carpet upgrades, this bug seems to be partially fixed: Now, both the icon and "keyboard-properties" bring up the panel where you can adjust the beep. However, the bell sound adjustment has no effect. If I increase the pitch and drop the volume and duration, I hear the change when I click the Test button but nothing changes with my gnome terminal bell sound -- it's still low, loud and long. It also doesn't affect the bell sound I get in xemacs, say when I search for a string that isn't in the buffer. This used to work, though.
Is that a duplicate of bug 62447, then?
Yup, I guess that's what it's turned into.
