So this is odd. With the previously-mentioned lines in my config file, I saw the following in BRLTTY logs whenever I restarted Orca:

Jun 10 10:54:44 desktop brltty[4206]: no matching user or group

And yet:


$ groups
nolan wheel libvirt brlapi docker


So not sure what's going on there. I enabled local-only auth via a Unix socket, though, and now everything works fine. I'm not clear on why BRLTTY rejected a group membership check that appears correctly configured, but it seems to be a non-issue now.


Thanks for all the help.

Hello,

braille-parameters ba:Auth=/etc/brlapi.key

What is the difference between api-parameters and braille-parameters ba?
The braille-parameter is only useful in case you run a second instance
of brltty to read terminals in the X session, in which case that second
instance needs to connect to the first one through brlapi. This is not
what you need here.

Also, is there a separate service that needs to run for brlapi, or is it
built into BRLTTY?
It's built into BRLTTY. Make sure to have braille enabled in the orca
config, and run orca by hand in a terminal and capture its output, which
will tell us what is going wrong.
