I would like to be able to use beep after complilation ends, such as in: rpmbuild --rebuild --clean calibre-2.0.0-1.fc21.src.rpm && beep But the problem is that beep only works for root, since standard users have this error message: $ beep Could not open /dev/tty0 or /dev/vc/0 for writing open: No such file or directory Is there no way to fix this in the program itself? Should I report the issue upstream? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
Good point. I have no idea how to address this, though. I would like to avoid setuid root for the beep binary.
Still an issue in F24.
