Note: to reproduce the issue, one just needs to install an Ubuntu 18.04 system, start brltty by hand as root with:
sudo brltty -b no then try to connect to it as normal logged-in user through brlapi: python3 >>> import brlapi >>> b = brlapi.Connection() which shouldn't raise an exception. Logs can be seen in /var/log/syslog (unfortunately the current package source code only prints errno instead of the GError). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782320 Title: Braille display inoperable in GUI since polkit-update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1782320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
