Yeah.. you’re going to want to change the owner of that file. do this: sudo chmod [user:name] /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Then you can run that command without any error.

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, the Terminal methods does not seem to work because of the following issue (I am using Ubuntu):

~$ sudo echo “blacklist pcspkr” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: Permission denied

It does not ask me for my password; it simply tells me that Permission is denied.

Can someone let me know how to get around this (and yes, I am a newbee 🙂

Or you can do this:

sudo echo “blacklist pcspkr” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

and reboot.
