Now that we have BRLTTY installed, let’s test it. Enter the following to
start BRLTTY:
sudo brltty
BRLTTY should show a version number, make a ‘bloop’ sound, and your
VarioUltra should spring to life. If it does congratulations you now have
braille inside a Linux environment.
Killing BRLTTY: You can stop brltty at any time by typing:
sudo killall brltty
Run BRLTTY as a service. Running BRLTTY as a service is useful as it
will start automatically on system boot and will start up when a
compatible display is connected allowing us to set it and forget it.
The procedure for installing BRLTTY as a service varies depending on
the distribution in use. In the build directory there is a directory called
'Autostart' this directory contains startup scripts for various service
managers BRLTTY supports.
For Ubuntu 14.04 we use the Upstart system so we want to copy the
brltty.conf file from Autostart/Upstart to /etc/init by changing to the
Autostart/Upstart directory and typing:
sudo cp brltty.conf /etc/init
now we should be able to start brltty by typing
sudo service brltty start
and stop brltty by typing
sudo service brltty stop
GUI. Want to use your VarioUltra while in the GUI? You can! Just run
the orca screen reader while BRLTTY is running. Without orca running
your VarioUltra will display 'screen not in text mode' while you are in the
GUI.
Uninstalling BLRTTY:
If for any reason you need to remove your freshly installed BRLTTY,
change to the BRLTTY source directory and issue the following
command:
sudo make uninstall
Using the VarioUltra braille keyboard in the GUI. It is necessary to have
the xbrlapi application installed. As of this writing, we haven’t quite
figured out how to compile this from the source. If you have installed the
Ubuntu package, it works fine even with the BRLTTY 5.3.1 we have use
to make the VarioUltra work. To install it, just issue the following
command at the command line:
