Hi Dave, Hermann & all, I just did the next experience: - logged in from my Debian pc and becoming sudo @ the ubuntulaptop - then: killall brltty - then brltty -b al -d USB: -t de and it workx again, no problem.
I will now put USB: instead of usb: in /etc/brltty.conf, even if I already got USB: in it while it wasn't working : OK, I rebooted the laptop, and ..... it seems to work. So maybe Dave that's not a problem of uppercase/lowercase. But here is the brltty.conf.orig I see in /etc: # Created by /lib/brltty/brltty.sh braille-driver al braille-device serial:ttyUSBx I suppose the problem is there, but I still can't understand what dropped that absurd content into the .orig brltty.conf? Maybe I must purge then reinstall brltty, hoping it will ask me again for entering the display type and device: maybe we can then see the mistake, but I presume serial:ttyUSBx is bad. Once again, I received much more answers and tips here while I'm still waiting for any reaction at the apropriate Ubuntu list. Aldo. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
