Permissions in Ubuntu seem to be prganised such that brltty (the braille
system) must always be started as root (sudo). Please consider adding a
device type that normal users can have the appropriate permissions for
to fix this.
$ brltty
brltty: BRLTTY 3.7.2
brltty: Linux Screen Driver
brltty: Cannot open screen device: /dev/vcsa: Permission denied
brltty: cannot read screen.
Mmm, being able to read the console is quite dangerous: via an ssh
account, it's just spying. And being able to insert keypresses on the
console is even more dangerous.
I'd suggest to rather add a brl group that would have such permissions
(so as to limit people who have such powerful permissions).
