system does not beep while taking screenshots in scrot

Question

I am trying to learn scrot utility and there is an option -z or --silent to prevent beeping. But my system is not beeping at all and so I am unable to test this -z option. I have installed the beep utility in my system.

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with lubuntu per-se, but at least on my version of ubuntu, you need to enable pcspkr module: modprobe pcspkr - you may need to do that with sudo and may want to add it to /etc/modules

then again, i may be completely off the mark for your use case. good luck.
