Re: [orca-list] no braille output with Orca and latest Brltty

[Kelly Prescott <kprescott coolip net>]

Jakob, here is what you need to do to make brltty work for now.
edit the brltty.conf file which is located in /etc
on about line #591 you need to uncomment the line that reads:
api-parameters Auth=keyfile:/etc/brlapi.key     # Require authentication 
key

Note, this should be on one line.
Then restart brltty sudo systemctl restart brltty
This should make orca work again.
