Dear all,
I have a question which may look like it is already answered but the solutions provided in previous threads don't really work for me. FYI, I am using a Linux Mint Isadora distribution and I tried to run org-mode both in a console-session of emacs (emacs -nw) and in an emacs GUI. I have tried to set an audible reminder for my appointments using:
(setq appt-audible t)
For some reason, this does not seem to work (the visible reminder works just fine). I am sure it does not have to do with volume as it works fine with other apps. BTW, the code I am using is collected from various threads and given that I know next to nothing in LISP, I can safely assume that this is probably the reason the whole audible reminder thing is not working....
I was wondering whether anyone out there could provide a bit of code to set audible reminders in org-mode (preferably working in a console too). I am teaching young people to use emacs and org-mode to do their research and running emacs in a console is probably the best thing to do to to stop them from getting distracted from menus, toolbars and other things!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read my (rather) lengthy message.
-Evita

The first question: Does your computer "beep" under other circumstances?
It's very likely that Linux Mint disables the beep by default. What is
the result the following command produce?
lsmod | grep pcspkr
If pcspkr is enabled, you might want check the value of the following
options with M-x describe-variable....
visible-bell
ring-bell-function
Best,
Matt

Hello Matt (and thank you for your time!),
Typing $ sudo lsmod | grep pcspkrin my terminal does not give anything. It simply shows the next prompt (if I am using the correct terminology - I am new in emacs and Linux!).
I was able to change the value of the visible bell but I was not able to find a corresponding option for the ring-bell-function. More specifically, the former comes up with a menu/button inside the buffer, which, if selected, allows one to modify value of the visible-bell. The latter (i.e., the ring-bell-function) does not offer such an option.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Maybe it is the distribution that disables the audible bell.
Many thanks once more,
Evita

Just to say I do have sound emitted by my laptop, though I don't have the
above module loaded (just checked your command).
Maybe grepping on `snd' would give interesting feedback?

You could try "sudo modprobe pcspkr". This should activate the
system beep if your distribution has turned it off.
Best,
Matt
