It wouldn't if you installed it under /usr/local and reconfigured the init system to start it instead of the packaged version. The proper way to upgrade would be to rebuild the Ubuntu package for the latest version, or obtain a more recent package that someone else has already created. The Debian package already includes the patch to fix the Freedom Scientific driver as of 13 March 2014, BRLTTY 5.0-1. I would suggest checking the changelog of the Ubuntu package. If the patch is already included, then your experience suggests there's still a bug that needs to be fixed in the FS driver. sudo aptitude changelog brltty should show you the recent updates. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
