Thanks! When I checked this morning, the file was not there. So I
disabled braille support in Orca, ran the installation process again,
and it worked.
BRLTTY 4.2 was still running, so I uninstalled it through the Ubuntu
software center, then ran the installing process for 4.3 again. Now that
Lee,
Glad to help spread the confusion...
I finally looked up the word "oneiric." It means pertaining to dreams.
Ubuntu 11.10 is nicknames Oneiric Ocelot, so the short form is Oneiric.
Now I know what that Ocelot is doing. /lol/

Hi!
I really need to get the brltty to work here as i prefer braille under
windows.
Now i have had problems with the latest version of brltty with the
libusb wich not seem to recognize my braille display.
So i decided to try out older versions to see if they work properly.

Hi!
A note to my last post.
It seems that the papenmeier display driver is disabled when loading
brltty manually.
I restarted my computer now and found the brltty service was starting.
So i tried configuring brltty but the pm didn't show up in the configurator.
I don't think the -d parameter wil
ARGH!
Here's a new (and tested!) version of the patch. I initially put it in
as a "word", but when I came up with the (doubtless improper) word
oneirics I changed it to "begword". But of course what I meant was
"sufword"!!! (If I'm not careful my credibility is going to be about
as low as it deser
Okay. Thanks to the assistance from this list, I now have BRLTTY 4.3 up
and running!
However, the loaner Alva BC 680 is still not producing braille for me to

:-( I'm guessing your Alva has the 2.8 firmware on it. That firmware version
and Linux don't get along very well. The only solution at this point in time is
to downgrade the firm

Some people on this list have managed to get the Alva BC640 working, but

Dave,
Looking on the bright side, I may not have gone completely stupid... /lol/
Since this is a loaner display, do you happen to know of a way to
downgrade the firmware without making the change permanent?
I could ask the company who owns it, I suppose. Just curious. Especially
since I wait
Interesting. I'm fairly new to the list, but still don't remember
everything. /grin/ I am far from catching up but am having fun learning
from all of you.
In spending some time with this Alva without the computer, I'm getting
some sort of feel for the controls... There sure are a lot of them,

what I would need to do to recover from a failed upgrade or downgrade.

Dave and Jason,
Thanks for the confirmation. I've been toying with the notion of just
going rogue and hoping I can get it back to good before I have to
sacrifice my firstborn... /grin/
I will send an e-mail to them tomorrow or maybe call the local rep. I
agree with both of you that it ain't
