Yes, it was and is USB; why should I change something that had worked forever ? >but are you using a simple USB cable or a serial adapter? I ignore if Alva itself had offered me a serial-to-USB cable in the box, but I'm using USB since that had been advised as being autodetected. Why should I try to complicate simple things that had worked until now ? At this moment it isn't autodetected and I can't boot normally: the one and only message at my braille-display says "ALVA Satellite OK, Waiting for connection... " and Ubuntu is asking me each time for pressing U for usb, S for serial, or B for bluetooth, or X for exit. Once started, Orca + eSpeak work, but no braille, not in Gnome nor under console. >Normal autodetection > should work if you're using a simple USB cable, i.e. not an adapter, >and if you've also told your Alva to use USB. I haven't touched my Alva, not internally nor externally. I hope it isn't able to change itself internally :-) See here the brltty.conf; is that correct? : # Created by /lib/brltty/brltty.sh braille-driver al braille-device serial:ttyUSBttyUSB: I have tried serial:USB: or simply USB: or ttyUSB: Nothing And Absolutely Nothing work.
