Hi Mike, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package that causes other packages to be installed/removed. You can safely remove it for the purposes of testing whether this works. It won't remove the entire ubuntu desktop as such. However for the long term it will cause issues with upgading, so it should be installed again.
It's just the easiest way of figuring out whether network-manager is the culprit so I can know who to follow this issue up with. Another option would be to find some other way to disable network-manager. Of course the real goal is making both n-m and USB braille play nicely together without such hacks; this is just fault searching. -- USB braille display no longer starts with brltty https://launchpad.net/bugs/80892 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
