I too wasted a week of my finite life chasing after this. I know of no other operating system in widespread usage that comes configured by default like this. I'm already not very happy with Ubuntu over Unity, this does not help my opinion of the distribution. I'm also trying to convince other amateur operators to use Linux and this issue is a real stumbling block. With issues like this, is it any wonder most of them are using some variant of Windows?
I think a worthwhile compromise would be a sub-distribution of Ubuntu aimed specifically at the sightless accompanied with an easy-to-follow document on how to make mainstream Ubuntu usable for the sightless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874181 Title: brltty daemon prevents creation of ttyUSB0 device link To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brltty/+bug/874181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
