Hello, The current version of brltty in Jessie suffers from an issue with systemd: systemd does not dare running getty on virtual consoles 2-6 because brltty is reading them. This is worked around in the latest brltty 5.3 release, but we still have the issue in Jessie and brltty 5.3 is not to be uploaded there.
One work around could be to make the brltty package run this at postinst: ln -s /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected] ln -s /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected] ln -s /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected] ln -s /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected] ln -s /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected] to force the start of getty even when brltty is reading the virtual console. I'm not sure the release team would accept this as a stable update, what do people think? Samuel
