I also want to know why somebody thought we wanted this annoying beep?
I must be some child programmer, right? It is very annoying waking up other people when working in the night!

Kostakis,

Try getting into root first by running “sudo su -”, then while in root edit the blacklist file.
tell me if it worked

I get an error:
bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: Permission denied
Even when I use sudo first… Any ideas?

Who thought making that beep a default was a good idea??
