talking archlinux questions

[Don Raikes]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to get some specific answers about the talking arch Linux system?

 

I got it installed on my dell laptop this afternoon, and everything is working "fine" except for brltty.

 

Since this isn't the brltty list, I just wonder if I can talk off-list to someone who may have brltty working with archlinux?

I would suggest the BRLTTY list. There was a problem mentioned there with the
configure options used to build the BRLTTY package in Arch Linux. Perhaps the
fix hasn't been uploaded yet.

Thanks I will check with them as well.

Jason,

I backed up to brltty-minimal on my archlinux system nad that worked just fine.  Just need to figure how to start it on boot.

This holds for BRLTTY, Speakup and everything else:
you need an appropriate Systemd service file, since, apparently Arch Linux
(like Fedora, OpenSuse and possibly others now) uses Systemd instead of
System V or BST-style init scripts.

 From your terminal,

sudo systemctl enable brltty.service

will allow brltty to start at boot. The systemd service ships either 
with the package or with systemd-arch-units. If you get an error from 
the command above, just install systemd-arch-units to get the needed file.

Are there any tricks to creating the brltty.service file?  I don't have any such thing on my system.

/usr/lib/systemd/system/brltty.service is shipped with the brltty 
package version 4.2-2. If you have installed brltty, you should have it, 
so the

sudo systemctl enable brltty.service

command should work. If not, instead try the full path

sudo systemctl enable /usr/lib/systemd/system/brltty.service

However, the full path shouldn't be needed.
