[BRLTTY] My full logs become complicated

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Hi,

Here's how I started a dialog with Samuel on debian-accessibility
because I believed it was a debian package problem. In fact it's only
that, changing to rsyslog, the brltty problem becomes very difficult to
live everyday.

Thanks if you've an idea.

Regards,

That's odd:

./Programs/io_misc.c:        LogPrint(LOG_WARNING, "input byte missing at offset %d", (int)*   offset);

so setting the error level to error should be enough to get it not
printed. Again, posting on brltty at mielke.cc will probably have more
useful answers.

Very probably.

I have no idea, did you check its documentation?

Well, yes and no: the actual bug is that brltty expects more data from
the device. That's where brltty at mielke.cc or Olivier really should get
in the loop to fix that. The fact that rsyslog writes it out is an
independant matter.
