>could you give me an update on this issue? Is this still an issue?
No, it isn't. It was fixed almost exactly a year ago. The fix is in brltty 5.4
for sure.

ting that tty1 is
special, so using it would seem to be okay. We still need to be sure that all
of what we need for mapping the font positions returned by the vcs devices back
to the original characters is common to all ttys so that fetching them from
tty1 would be valid for other ttys.

Do either of you know how often systemd-login retries, and how many times it
tries before giving up? What we could do is open the vt on demand, and then
close it after a timeout of non use.

>On my Fedora systems - which are managed by systemd - X starts on tty1.
As I understand it, X also wants a free vt. Why is it, then, that X is willing
to start on tty1 (at least on Fedora systems) even though brltty already has
t
at a braille user can manage his own system failures. This, of course, would
be way before any getty would be started. I suspect that vt_stat would be 0 at
this point, so we either disallow a braille user to deal with early boot
problems or we need to dream up some other approach.

r words, I believe that even a blank screen is significant to the
user in such a scenario, and, therefore, he must still be able to read it.
Is there no way for brltty to open a tty "secretly"?

So do you need me to do anything, or is "fixed in 5.0" good enough?

Hi:
getCurrentTime() is no longer being called in async. This is new in 5.0.
Perhaps the problem is happening in an older release.

t the end result is not correct for some reason.
Is there a problem if the .po file specifies:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
but the user isn't using a UTF-8 locale?
In other words, I'm theorizing that our translations are stored - and returned
- in UTF
code looks correct to me. The screen driver already calls gettext(), so the
message as rturned by the screen driver is already translated. Then it gets
translated into wchars via brltty's convertTextToWchars(), which is mapped to
mbstowcs().

Okay. Thanks for the clarification. I fully understand the need for installers
to have minimal environments.

Brltty's configure script now supports the --disable-icu option. As stated
earlier, though, I consider it unfriendly to withhold features from users based
on what the installer's environment is able to support.

It's always easier to make a selection from a list rather than searching way
