Bug Description
This bug appears on 20.04 and 20.10
I believe it is a kernel bug.
Currently reporting from Ubuntu 20.10 (beta), having updated packages.
Kernel is x86_64, 5.8.0-21
It can be mitigated by the echo command,namely:
echo -e "\a\a\a"
So I wrote a small shell script to do this:-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
while true
do
date
echo -e "\aShh..."
sleep 5
done
