Because simple is not funny, John :D
As an aside I have also an issue with 6.3 in Slint, people can't get brl
through
orca at boot, they have to first kill the daemon with a signal 9 (15 doesn't
work). I have a power user testing to investigate further right now (I am
sighted, do not read Braille and don't have display anyway). Not using
systemd
in Slint so could be a completely unrelated issue though. But i suspect
USB is
involved as if I start brltty -b tt -d /dev/tty2 I do get the expected
output
in /dev/tty2.
Best,
Didier

A bit more information, both pcspkr and uinput are loaded, so I don't
know why those modprobes are failing and unplugging and replugging the
braille device does not do anything.
I think it keeps trying to start a braille device instance, but its
always failing, not sure why. It seems to be unable to execute
/libexec/brltty/systemdd-wrapper, but its there. Very strange. Why
is this so complicated?

Also, looking at the only service unit, it says RefuseManualStart=true
so I seem to have no way to just say systemctl start brltty
Okay, I understand your question, now. If you really want to just start brltty
then start the brltty.path unit.
Just starting brltty, these days, isn't necessarily the right thing to do. This
is because udev also starts brltty. If you don't have brltty's udev rules then
just starting brltty is okay. If, however, you do have them then you should
configure the general brltty to not look for USB devices. An easy way to do
this would be to have this line in brltty.conf:
braille-device bluetooth:
By the way: It's often handy to check the description within a systemd unit
file. The brltty.path unit contains this line:
Description=Default BRLTTY Instance
