Hi I am trying to run BRLTTY as ordinary user. I followed the documentation from <http://brltty.app/doc/Linux.html> and have succeeded so far that I have speech and braille working. Two minor issues remain, automatic bluetooth detection of my HandyTech bluetooth display (works fine via USB) and keyboard (uinput) device creation. For bluetooth I have added BRLTTY to the bluetooth group. I checked and ran the following:
$ sudo getcap /opt/brltty.u/bin/brltty /opt/brltty.u/bin/brltty = cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_fowner,cap_setgid,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_tty_config,cap_mknod+p # It shows cap_mknod+p instead of cap_mknod, not sure whether this is a problem $ sudo chown brltty /run/brltty $ sudo chgrp brltty /run/brltty $ LC_ALL=C sudo -u brltty /opt/brltty.u/bin/brltty -l 7 The log file is attached. I also tried to do some more testing in a clean chroot environment. There I configured BRLTTY with --prefix=/home/myuser/brl and got issues during make install: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./../brltty.pc /home/myuser/brl/lib/pkgconfig/brltty.pc ../getrevid -p "revision_identifier=" ../ >>/home/myuser/brl/lib/pkgconfig/brltty.pc getrevid: unrecognized source repository type: ../ getrevid: revision identifier not known make[1]: *** [Makefile:1183: install-pkgconfig-file] Error 3 make[1]: Leaving directory '/src/foreign/brltty/Programs' make: *** [Makefile:48: install] Error 2 Thanks!
