Linux Mint Beep on Command Line


Since it seems the beep command is blacklisted in Linux Mint (or rather not loaded by default into the kernel) and it’s ugly af, we can make a better beep.

# beep
export BEEP=/usr/share/sounds/LinuxMint/stereo/dialog-warning.ogg
alias beep='paplay $BEEP'

then you can run

find . -name somefile && beep
