[Bug 1579531] Re: openConnection: connect: No such file or directory

[dino99]

This error is polluting .xsession-errors on yakkety too.

openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0

Glancing at such error , i've found that answer from a Debian dev:

> openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
> cannot connect to brltty at :0

That's no error, they're just debugging messages. They come from xbrlapi which
is trying to connect to a braille display but you have none so it can't. Nothing
to worry about.

So what is only needed is to silence this debugging message from xbrlapi.
This may affect most of the users, as they does not have use of braille.

Title:
  xbrlapi debugging message spamming .xsession-errors; please silence
  it.

Status in brltty package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  16.04 amd64.

  $HOME/.xsession-errors contains cryptic messages that do not indicate
  where they come from. They turn out to be harmless but it would be
  good if they at least were prefixed with the source.

  openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
  cannot connect to brltty at :0

  They indicate the absence of a braille tty so how about:

  xbrlapi: Cannot find a Braille Teletype device
  xbrlapi: cannot connect to brltty at :0
