Re: [orca-list] Terminal and Braille

[Øyvind Lode <oyvind lode gmail com>]

/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.
