Check that there exist a file /etc/brlapi.key, owned by root:braille and with perms 0640

If not, generate it. As root:
cut here
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/brltty-genkey # maybe done, but won't hurt
/usr/sbin/brltty-genkey etc/brlapi.key
/usr/bin/chgrp braille etc/brlapi.key
chmod 640 etc/brlapi.key

I don't run Arch, so maybe the path to the binaries differ.

And of course, brltty should be running at tile of starting orca.

Greetings,

Didier
