Hi Dave, hi Luke, and all, I just did the next test: - I logged into my Ubuntu Hardy laptop with ssh, since I entirely removed brltty and brltty-x11 yesterday, hoping the persistent question will disappear
- now, thanks to Luke's mail I found "braille=ask" in /boot/grub/menu.lst: I now removed it - after this I reinstalled brltty + brltty-x11 - I only had a look at /etc/brltty.conf and must confirm to DAve that he's right: brltty.conf is at that moment template (see attach) - I will now reboot Ubuntu and see what he will do, if something will override that file, even if nobody asked for doing so. - OK, there's no longer that question at boot but I got no braille. - Now I edidte /Etc/brltty.conf, uncomment the right params for my "al usb: de" but when erbooting there is no braille. Ubuntu is really making me crazy! What now Luke ? Aldo. PS: I still saw an error in the brltty.conf template: #braille-device serial: # ...
# This is a configuration file template for the BRLTTY application. # Uncomment those entries which apply to your personal needs and system # requirements. # BRLTTY expects to find its configuration file in "/etc/brltty.conf" # (can be overridden with the -f [--configuration-file=] option). # If it doesn't exist, then BRLTTY silently continues but may require # that certain command line options be explicitly supplied. # Blank lines are ignored. The character '#', anywhere on a line, # initiates a comment; all characters from it to the end of that line # are ignored. # Each configuration entry consists of a keyword followed by its operand. # An arbitrary amount of white space, (blanks and/or tabs), may occur # before the keyword, as well as before and after the operand.
