    How to turn off Kali live first boot Menu's beep - menu.cfg '^G' sign

    Hello everyone,
    anybody know how to turn off Kali Menu's first beep in a custom live ISO build??


    1. The ISO file
    I've modified the /isolinux/menu.cfg file to remove the '^G' sign a the end of the menu line
    in the ISO generated file.... It's the ^G sign that make produce the beep sound...
    Well, now, how to make new iso with this modification ?


    2.A. The Doc - bootloaders
    The bootloader configuration doc can be find here:
    http://live.debian.net/manual/3.x/ht...binary.en.html

    I've tried to copy /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders to config/bootloaders
    and edit the ./isolinux/menu.cfg file removing the '^G' sign at the end of Title Boot menu line
    but without succes... So, I'm very new to this kind of things... Many things can be wrong at mine.


    2.B. The Doc - menu.cfg file
    The second thing is that it seems we could put the modified menu.cfg file in the config/includes.binary/isolinux/ ...
    ... But It didn't worked...



    Any suggestion?

    3. The build.sh file
    Is it possible to edit the build.sh to create or copy a menu.cfg file without '^G' in the menu.cfg file ?



    Thanks a lot :-)

    Hi EveryOne :-)

    There it was...

    The solution:
    remove the '^G' sign in the /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders/isolinux/menu.cfg file...

    then, lb build your favorite ISO ;-)



    PS:
    to see or remove this famous '^G' sign, use "nano" ...
    a "cat" won't show it ;-)
    Best whishes

    Use cat -A

    Code:
    root@kali ~$ cat -A /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders/isolinux/menu.cfg
    menu hshift 0$
    menu width 82$
    $
    menu title Boot menu^G$
    include stdmenu.cfg$
    include live.cfg$
    include install.cfg$
    menu begin advanced$
    ^Imenu title Advanced options$
    ^Iinclude stdmenu.cfg$
    ^Ilabel mainmenu$
    ^I^Imenu label ^Back..$
    ^I^Imenu exit$
    ^Iinclude advanced.cfg$
    menu end$
    $
    menu clear$
    root@kali ~$ cat /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders/isolinux/menu.cfg
    menu hshift 0
    menu width 82
    
    menu title Boot menu
    include stdmenu.cfg
    include live.cfg
    include install.cfg
    menu begin advanced
    	menu title Advanced options
    	include stdmenu.cfg
    	label mainmenu
    		menu label ^Back..
    		menu exit
    	include advanced.cfg
    menu end
    
    menu clear
    root@kali ~$
