[BRLTTY] Help after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04, continued

[Yannick PLASSIARD]

Hi,



I confirm I encountered this issue, which has been solved in Ubuntu 24.10.

It seemed from a very light investigation that in 24.04, there was a 
brltty connected to brlapi that was running and that this process seemed 
to take control of everything while in console, making the display "stuck".


As I said earlier, and I know that's not the solution, upgrading to 
24.10 solved the issue for me.
