brltty input monitor error 19
Hello everyone, A client of mine is having trouble with brltty sometimes heavily spamming the logs with "braille input monitor error 19: No such device", and I'm wondering what this could actually mean is the trouble. Also, by spamming I mean like a lot, for the last week alone he's got more than 17 million lines matching that in syslog (~500k one day, 9.1M another, and 7.6M yesterday). When it happens, it spams insanely fast, I can count around 50k messages/second for about 5s at a time. The client is running Buster (yeah I know), which is brltty 5.6.10+deb10u1 [1], not the most recent of all. As a workaround, I currently set "log-level critical" to try and not get these errors in the logs, as their rate managed to fill /var/log [2]; and because the client didn't seem to actually have issues with brltty. Does anybody here have clues on: * why does it happen? Is something *actually* wrong, just going unnoticed by the user? * was it a bug that has been fixed in newer releases? I know there is 6.3 in the backports, but I'm slightly reluctant to update the client just yet unless I can reasonably hope it actually fixes something. Thanks for your attention, and looking forward to reading you :) Colomban [1]: to be entirely honest, it's a custom build from before +deb10u1 got released, but it has the exact same patch from Samuel, and diffing the sources show no difference apart from the changelog entry [2]: which is another issue that it can actually happen, but unrelated to brltty
Re: Tasksel
Hello David, Le 13/06/2023 à 19:50, David Hoff Jr a écrit : I installed Tasksel and ran it. It listed various choices and I chose #19, Debian Console Games. I got an "Access denied" error. I tried with and without sudo as well as using su to try it from root. […] I tried myself a couple of ways and I couldn't get a similar error. Without sudo it tells me it doesn't have the rights (not very obvious, but not that arcane), and through sudo it works just fine. I tried Debian 11 and 12 as well… Only difference I see is that I run amd64 only, so maybe there's a bug in the i386 arch?? Anyhow, you could workaround installing games-console manually instead of going through tasksel. And possibly report a bug against tasksel if there's really something wrong there. Regards, Colomban

I think that for > some reason, on my hardware, no speech synthesizer is selected by > default. Can you reproduce this with a fresh install on your hardware? I had the same issue on my Sid install after upgrading speech-dispatcher (or espeak?) to the version that brought espeak-ng. I did the same, selecting the engine manually, but there definitely seem to be a problem somewhere -- for me, at least through an upgrade path. Regards, Colomban
