I have been trying to follow the instructions on this page that Didier
posted: https://brltty.app/doc/Linux.html

 

But commands such as brltty-setcaps cannot be found on my system (Ubuntu
23.04). I've tried reinstalling BRLTTY and even downloaded the latest
version as a .deb but I cannot install it as it telling me it's missing
certain parameters.

 

I still have a lot to learn about Linux and don't understand some of the
things I am reading.

 

I had no problem with Ubuntu 22.04 prior to the Linux 6.2 update.

Subject: [BRLTTY] Grant permission in BRLTTY

 

Hello list,

 

I am running BRLTTY 6.5 on Ubuntu 23.04 with the GNOME desktop. There are
three capabilities not granted, as shown below. Can anyone tell me how I can
go about granting these permissions.

 

brltty: required capability not granted: cap_sys_admin (for injecting input
characters typed on a braille device)

 

brltty: required capability not granted: cap_sys_tty_config (for playing
alert tunes via the built-in PC speaker)

 

brltty: required capability not granted: cap_mknod (for creating needed but
missing special device files)

 

Many thanks, Paul
