Re: [orca-list] Terminal and Braille



/etc/brlapi.key did exist.

However owner and group were root.

I created the brlapi group and added my own user account to the group.

root is still owner with read and write permissions.

brlapi is groupowner with read permission.

I rebooted but still no go.

I now see that brltty daemon is not running.
I run 'ps -ef | grep brltty'
No brltty process there.

I'll have to troubleshoot further tomorrow because it's time to get some sleep.

Brltty starts but I only see the text 'brltty 5.2' on the display.

as far as i know there is some steps to do for using brlapi (the interface
that orca uses to communicate with brltty(
please check the following:
does the file

/etc/brlapi.key
exist? this is needed, but sometimes not created by default.
if it doesnt -> create it with an random content by typint this:
sudo mcookie > /etc/brlapi.key
sudo addgroup brlapi
sudo chgrp brlapi /etc/brlapi.key
sudo chmod g+r /etc/brlapi.key
sudo addgroup user1 brlapi #replace user1 with your user
sudo reboot

if it does exist let us know and we will see :)

Hi all:

I've just installed Ubuntu on my laptop.
I killed off Windows and Ubuntu is now the only OS on my laptop.

I'm happy to report that Gmail web interface seems to work.
In fact I'm composing this message on Ubuntu using Orca and Firefox.

However, to the point hehe.

* How do I read output in the terminal?
Orca reads output of commands but how to review the contents of the
terminal?

* I cannot get my HumanWare Brailliant BI 40 to output Braille.

Brltty starts but I only see the text 'brltty 5.2' on the display.

Braille output is enabled in Orca.

Thanks,

-Øyvind
