This sounds like it might be related to a change that was made to udev when it came under systemd support. The brief descriptoin of that problem is that udev now insists on arbitrarily killing a command (in this case, brltty) if it starts it directly. The powers that be decided that they want udev, thse days, to start commands via systemd. So we now need to do some research. What I'd like to know first is if your udev rules file tries to invoke brltty directly or if it uses systemd. Could you please attach it to a post so that I can have a look at it? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
