== audible ping not working ==ping produces a bell by printing the ASCII bell char '\a', which is doing nothing, probably because the system beep is disabled.You can manually try to produce the bell with: echo -e "\a"n my case, audible bell was disabled because of xset -b in my ~/.xsession file and could be re-enabled with xset b.If you are using Terminator as terminal on Ubuntu 18.10, left-click the Terminator, select preferences/profiles, and there is the audible beep option.SOLUTION for Mint 19.2GNOME TERMINAL 3.28.1# click Edit -> Preferences# Under profiles click "unnamed" or your profile name# Under the "Text" tab at the bottom where the heading is "Sound" check "Terminal Bell"
