after not being able to get brltty to come up on the netinst for debian etch, I tried a Ubuntu live cd; I'm not sure which version this was but it had brltty 3.7.2. I was able to start brltty after login but the braillelite gives me mostly question marks and no legible information; I seem to r

[BRLTTY] Creating BRLTTY as a .deb package

2007-12-08 Thread Daniel Dalton
Hello, When downloading BRLTTY I noticed there was a source file (Which I used to install) as well as a rpm file (redhat package manager I guess) I wasn't sure what the rpm src one was for, but that's probably because I don't use redhat. Anyway would it be ok if I created a .deb package of BRL

[BRLTTY] Only question mark characters when running brltty in ppc ubuntu and ppc debian etch

My status with trying to get brltty to work with the debian etch netinst CD now turns out to be the same as that of trying to run brltty in ubuntu. With both the debian netinst and ubuntu in x86 versions, I have no problem with brltty. When using the corresponding cds for the powerpc architect

Did you use the -t option? (Don't you need to set the braille code)? so it should be either: from a terminal as root brltty -b braille_display -d /dev/port -t en_us Or in the debian installer: install brltty =what_display, port, en_us On 9/12/2007 2:23 PM, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > My status with t

No, I don't think you have to include the text table for English as the default should be acceptable. On the x86 installer for debian etch and the x86 ubuntu live CD, I don't have to set a table. Also the /dev isn't necessary in the device designation. Re the tables: I actually already tried in

I was already running brltty as root from ubuntu; you can't run brltty on the ubuntu live cd except as root. But thanks anyway for trying to help. What kind of ppc machine are you using? -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." ___
