Re: [orca-list] A question: making orca to work with braille



So, yea, brltty is definitelly running, as I can see 'Screen not in text mode'. On the standart console, braille output works fine.

How can I check the brltty logs?

Hello,

While on sonar systemd services got enabled automagically while installing. On arch linux you have to do it all manually. It's why I have asked too many questions.
Is brltty running?
When inspecting its logs, can you see something that might help?
Can you try running
orca --replace
in a terminal to see if orca might be printing something relevant to the standard output?
I'm afraid this is a configuration issue. And we need to help you to find what's wrong.

Nope, I don't have any errors. It started just after I installed Linux. On the old instance, which was GNU/sonar, everything worked well.

On a text console does your braille display work?
Have you enabled brltty systemd service to start brltty?
If you are unsure you can just do
sudo systemctl reenable brltty
sudo systemctl restart brltty
At the orca side of things braille support is enabled by default. Have you enabled it? Please open screen reader preferences by pressing orca+space, switch to the braille tab and please verify if evething is correct.
If you can't get it to work, then please try to describe what works, what does not, when it stopped working and similar things that may help us look for the issue.
Also can you see some errors when checking brltty status
sudo systemctl status -l brltty

    Hi,

The file you mentioned exists, I set chmod to 640, as you suggested but that didn't help

Hello,
How can I make orca working with BRLTTY? I am using Arch as my distro, gnome 3.26 and the latest Orca. I have added my user to the brlapi group, but that didn't help.
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
