Re: [orca-list] No braille after installing Ubuntu 18.04

[Kristof Nijs <kristof nijs xxs gmail com>]

Hi all,

I was able to fix the problem.
In the syslog files I found a brltty error. It had someting to do with "polkit".

I tryed to update my laptop with the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Last command told me that I first had to execute another command, but
I did'nt know how to read that command with the flat review.

I tryed the folowing command:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Afterwards I again runned the command:
sudo apt upgrade

While running that command, suddenly my braille device began to work.

So problem solved.

Kind regards,
Kristof
