Package: brltty Version: 6.5-7 Severity: important Tags: a11y Hi
On my Debian Bookworm system, I've configured BRLTTY with speech output over espeak-ng and a USB braille device. However, I am unable to use BRLTTY for my password entry of my encrypted /home partition; note that / is unencrypted. I've enabled the option that BRLTTY is pat of the initramfs, but I suspect it is present, but not started. Is there any other action required? I also think that the dependencies of BRLTTY prevent it from being started by systemd at an earlier stage. I'm not familiar with the Systemd boot process, but it could be related to requiring paths like /var/lib/brltty to be mounted and /home just unfortunately being earlier. In any case, it would be good to still have a11y support for entering the pass-phrase, in particular, for cases where something goes wrong.
