[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1782320] Re: Braille display inoperable in GUI since polkit-update

2018-09-05 Thread Frans-Willem Post
Have tested the brltty package in bionic-proposed as instructed in
comment #12: v5.5-4ubuntu2.0.1

It works as expected.

After commenting out the "api-parameters Auth=keyfile" line in
brltty.conf and restarting the machine (just to be sure), my braille
display works completely in both text console as in my GUI desktop.

Thanks for fixing this!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1782320] Re: Braille display inoperable in GUI since polkit-update

2018-07-23 Thread Frans-Willem Post
Thanks to a member of the BrlTTY mailing list, my problem is solved. It
seems that the default authorization of BrltTTY under Ubuntu was no
longer working. Providing it with a dummy key-file was enough to get it
back to work - instantly.

The display came back to life immediately after these steps:
- edit /etc/brltty.conf, uncomment the line "api-parameters 
Auth=keyfile:/etc/brlapi.key"
- sudo touch /etc/brlapi.key
- sudo chmod 0644 /etc/brlapi.key

For me, the issue is solved.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1782320] Re: Braille display inoperable in GUI since polkit-update

2018-07-18 Thread Frans-Willem Post
Have just replayed the upgrade in a VirtualBox VM using a clean install
of Ubuntu 18.04.

Before the upgrade (of policy-kit), the braille display works (both
output and input).

After the upgrade and reboot, the same errors appear in /var/log/syslog:

  Expected behavior:
  After a system upgrade, the braille display should function as before the 
upgrade.

  Actual behavior:
  Since the upgrade, the braille display only works in console mode 
(Ctrl+Alt+F3, -F4, etc.)
  In GUI mode, the display reads "Screen not in text mode".

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1764643] [NEW] Logout after console use freezes GUI

2018-04-17 Thread Frans-Willem Post
Public bug reported:

Hello,

Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit
GNOME 3.26.2
nVIDIA GeForce GT620 driver 384.111
X-server 11.0, v1.19.5
Orca + braille enabled

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu 17.10
Release:17.10

$ apt-cache policy gdm3
gdm3:
  Installed: 3.26.1-3ubuntu3
  Candidate: 3.26.1-3ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 3.26.1-3ubuntu3 500
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates/main amd64 
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 3.26.1-3ubuntu2 500
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages


Every now and then, I use the console-terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F2-F6). When I'm done 
there, I logout (exit or Ctrl+D). The problem I describe occurs both when 
logged in graphically, or not. So it doesn't matter if there is a running GUI 
session.

GDM then shows me a graphical screen with the clock and a mouse pointer.
The pointer does no longer move. On my braille display, I can read the
standard login prompt ("hostname-login:", then "password:"). I can login
using the keyboard and access the console this way (blind, without any
visual change).

What happens:
I can not get back to the standard GDM user selection, i.e. login form.

What would I expect:
I would like to be presented the GDM user selection form

If you need more info, please ask.
Kind regards,

FWieP
