[quoted lines by Brian Tew on 2018/04/05 at 05:12 -0500] >I made the changes in /etc/default/brltty that John mentioned.
There was no need as brltty (albeit, the installed one) was running. >I apt-got purged 5.3.1 Well, I tried to advise to not do that. >and recompiled 5.6 as root. It's a bad practice to build as root. While we ourselves try very hard to ensure that our own make files can be trusted, the reason it's a bad idea is because you never really know what a make file will or won't do. If it's a bad make file then you could very easily ruin your system. >All went well, but when root tried to edit /lib/systemd/system/brltty.service >it says no such file. Sure, because you unintalled it. My suggestion was to sinmply just edit it. >locate brltty.service gives ten files, but root cannot >see any of thm. so I cannot change the execstart line. That doesn't matter since you removed it. I was trying to suggest an approach that'd keep things simple. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: d...@mielke.cc | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
