Description Pablo Rodríguez 2014-08-23 15:35:37 UTC 
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'.

Comment 2 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2016-01-17 23:41:50 UTC 
Good point. I have no idea how to address this, though.

I would like to avoid setuid root for the beep binary.
Comment 3 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2016-05-31 17:16:45 UTC 
Still an issue in F24.
