Somehow, the command-line arguments passed to the kernel at boot has had 
braille=ask added. To immediately solve this problem, I suggest you open the 
file /boot/grub/menu.lst as root, and search for braille-ask, and delete it. Do 
not delete the entire line, just delete that part of the line. Then as root, 
run the command update-grub. This should stop the constant prompting at boot.

I would also like to know what CD you used to install Ubuntu, so I can attempt 
to track down that problem, and make sure it is fixed for future Ubuntu 
releases.

Hope this helps.

persistent brltty question at boot time while brltty already configured

[Labrador]

Hi,

I just resolved a problem that happened during the installation of Ubuntu
Hardy from a fresh 8.04.1 CD:
the brltty.conf wasn't correct: the USB Alva SAtellite I use was not
detected.

Finally after discussing this point at the Brltty list, it seems that we
must enter usb: without capital letters nor quotes in the /etc/brltty.conf
file.

Now it workx again, but Ubuntu is persistently asking at eacht boot time for
which kind of display I'm using, and pointing me for answering S for serial,
U for USB, B for Bluetooth or X for exit.

I'd like to resolve asap this stupid problem, since my display is finally
detected and started as needed: how does I remove that persistent question
screen ?
it's very not blind friendly because at that moment you can't ready
anything.

BTW it would be nie to fix definitely all brltty related problems present in
the Ubuntu installer or at boot time, this is an inferno and I still
encountered problems with Gutsy.

I encourage you, fix them all definitely!
many thanx

Aldo.
