[u-a-dev] [Bug 91894] Brltty doesn't properly load when attempting to use serial braille display on live CD.

[Luke Yelavich]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brltty

When choosing the braille terminal option from the live CD boot screen,
and then choosing the serial option, and the appropriate port, BrlTTY
does not load properly when the live CD boots.

After adding the -e flag to the brltty init script to get debugging
info, I got the following.

Starting Braille terminal driver: brltty: BRLTTY 3.7.2
brltty: Linux Screen Driver
brltty: /lib/brltty/libbrlttybask.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
brltty: Cannot load braille driver: /lib/brltty/libbrlttybask.so
brltty: braille driver not loadable: ask
brltty.

Going from this information, brltty is attempting to load a Braille
driver called ask, as it is totally ignoring the config file, and trying
to make use of the kernel command-line argument.

I suggest we rename the kernel command-line argument that is used, to
prevent this from happening.
