I have recently bought a Yoga 2 Pro i5 version and a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB Mobile USB HDD. I made a 4GB partition and used the Universal USB Installer to write the ISO into the partition with few GBs Persistence storage. Whenever I boot up the Ubuntu Live from the HDD in my Yoga 2 Pro, it makes a very loud beep if the following page is arrived. (I don't have the permission to upload images)


Ubuntu

Installer boot menu

  • Try Ubuntu without installing
  • Install Ubuntu
  • Check disc for defects
  • Test memory
  • Boot from first hard disk
  • Advanced options >
  • Help

This makes me embarrassed since everybody looks at me if I would like to use Ubuntu to do my assignments at quiet places such as library or computer lab. How can I turn off the boot up beep permanently? Thanks

The boot should only happen when you're not booting in UEFI mode (which would be pretty much always on old systems). It's due to this line in the Syslinux configuration (isolinux/menu.cfg):

menu title Installer boot menu^G

If you're using an USB, it should be enough to edit that file and remove the beep, which is caused by the ^G (or ASCII bell - \a - character).
