Dear ed,


How do I add the brlapi entry to /etc/group? i opened it in Nano, but i don't understand the sintacs.

Thanks again.

Best regards.

Francisco.

I'll paste below the output that the command you suggested gave me, there's something disturbing indeed in that command, that I didn't try till you suggested it.


systemctl status brltty

This error persisted so i didn't copy it as many times as it output itself.

the output below, instead, is the output that is given when i type xbrlapi

Thanks again for all the help

Do you have an entry for brlapi in your /etc/group?

I do, and if I start the service I don't get the error you note.

Also, it may be possible that with that line you'd need to add your user to be in that group.
