I am replying to this former message so that anybody replying will know what instructions I am following. I am running debian Jesse. The instructions for starting and stopping brltty work just fine. So do the instructions for switching to the latest development version and/or the debian distribution that comes with Jesse. So now I have the following questions: 1. Debian's brltty package uses /sbin/brltty for the daemon. My development version is in /usr/local but I am not using /sbin as far as I know. While it appears to run fine when I switch to it, I'm wondering whether I have to have some way of starting the daemon from /sbin if I want to switch to the development version as the one that automatically boots and have it start up as early as I can. 2. I am not very familiar with systemctl yet. I basically copied and modified the debian brltty unit file and modified it to start the development version instead. What changes do I have to make to be able to boot the development version at startup instead of the debian package and which files do I need to edit? I am attaching my unit file for the development version which I am referring to as brltty-github. 3. I notice that although my mid-2007 mac mini running debian plays sound alerts in brltty when I use the debian version, I get no alert tunes when I switch to the development version even though I use the same preference choices that I see for the debian package. Does anybody know why this would be and what I can do about it? I am wanting to use the development version of brltty on my debian system just as I am using it on my Mac so that I can check that all the changed key bindings are working correctly for my Braille Edge on both Mac and linux. This is one of the reasons why I want to use the development version instead of the current debian Jesse package and right now it would be easier if I could just run the development version on boot-up because the debian package on Jessie does not yet have the latest updates for the braille edge. Any help will be appreciated greatly. Thanks. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14 HCSB)
