All,

I've written what i think is a handy little utility for testing and 
experimenting with grub init tunes.  To use it, you can do one of three 
things:
1. Just run the script. In this case, it will read /etc/default/grub and 
play the current GRUB_INIT_TUNE.
2.Set the GRUB_INIT_TUNE environmental variable to a tune. In this case, 
it will play your tune. This allows you to try out different tunes.
3. Use one of the tunes I've created. Do this by editing the script and 
uncommenting the line for the tune you want to try. There are several 
tunes listed at the top of the script.

The script plays the GRUB_INIT_TUNE  and then echos it to the console. 
To save a tune, just redirect the output to your grub default file,:

# grub-init-tune >> /etc/default/grub
# update-grub

To download the script, point a browser here:
http://www.iavit.org/~john/grub-init-tune


Or:
#  wget http://www.iavit.org/~john/grub-init-tune
# chmod 07555 grub-init-tune

Thanks John for the script-and-yes my grub just like LILO did beep. Sorry, in my 
earlier comment, no I didn't know when your modification was going to be ready, 
but as I will be home Thursday morning, I thought that would have been a case 
to phone, but certainly I can understand you don't offer that.  So in thinking 
about it, without modifying a souces list, when I would run a dpkg -i of your 
new kernel, it will probably repace an image, so I wouldn't need to play a 
guessing game, which of 3 kernels it would boot as? Thanks in advance.
Hart,

John,

I'm finally on grub2 and was eager to dive in and make myself a catchy
little tune! Sadly, your script gives me a 404. Where did it go???

Thank you, Sir! Got it, installed the beep utility, and now I have a cavalry charge on boot-up!


GRUB_INIT_TUNE="800 523 2 698 2 880 2 1046 1 1 3 880 2 1046 4"

What a nifty utility!

Since GRUB 2, I haven't known how to alter GRUB, I would like to set the 
time-out, and it would be nice to have a beep for each item, or at least a 
beep at the top and bottom, and I would like to change the order of the 
items.
Maybe it is easier now, but I don't know how to do it.
Thanks for any info.

Glen,

Please examine /etc/default/grub that is where root can make changes to 
grub preferably while not connected to the internet.
Once those changes get done though root will have to issue a command like:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg <enter>
to make those changes happen on the next reboot.

I'm not sure you can get a beep for each item on the grub menu any more. 
  You used to do that by editing the grub config file and inserting n 
ASCII character 7 on the title line for each boot stanza. But there is 
no reason that has to work at all any more -- it would depend on how the 
grub menu is displayed. But another problem is that the grub config file 
is generated by update-grub now. If you edit the config file, it will be 
over written next time you run update-grub.

Crazy idea... We should try to get the grub developers to beep the morse 
code for the characters of each grub menu item. Perhaps if you press the 
right arrow key, it beeps the morse code for the first letter of the 
line. Press it again, it beeps the second letter. Even if you don't know 
morse code, you could do it slowly enough to look it up. For most items, 
you'd need only the first letter or 2.

I love that crazy idea! I have yet to get my USB to serial adapter working in Grub2 (need sighted assistance to finish the job as those of you on the Gentoo-accessability list saw me post last week). This would be great in the meantime and great if my USB to serial adapter wasn't around... and great for folks who don't want to bother setting up a serial terminal.

BTW, John, there's a slight bug in your script. The grub init tune and play routine accept a value of 0 as a rest and, if a very low value like 1 is used instead, rounds it up to something that can be played like a 20 or 40. The beep utility takesa  value below the lowest freq the speaker can play and converts it to a rest. As a result, the 1 I used as a rest in my tune was a rest with beep but a low grumble (sounded like a drumroll through a PC speaker) with Grub.

I'd suggest having the script accept values of 0 in the grub init tune and converting them to 1 before passing them to beep. That way, both Grub and beep would produce similar output.

If you pass a value of 0 to beep for the freq, it skips it.

Keith

over written next time you run update-grub.

Crazy idea... We should try to get the grub developers to beep the morse 
code for the characters of each grub menu item. Perhaps if you press the 
right arrow key, it beeps the morse code for the first letter of the 
line. Press it again, it beeps the second letter. Even if you don't know 
morse code, you could do it slowly enough to look it up. For most items, 
you'd need only the first letter or 2.
