BRLTTY cannot write to /var/log as it is running under an unprivileged user. You need to put the log file to /tmp/ or some other directory where the `brltty` user has write permissions. Your original problem, by the way, most likely is that BRLTTY does not have access to /dev/tty0. It is a permissions problem. As far as I understand, Arch has not changed anyghing, it is Linux kernel itself that has changed default permissions of /dev/tty devices. You can try running your Arch with linux-lts kernel package to try to confirm my theory. There is a fix already in BRLTTY's git repository. It fixes this. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
