`ps -U root |grep brltty`
gives:
1862 ? 00:06:35 brltty
`ps aux |grep brltty` gives
root 1862 0.9 0.0 544584 7252 ? Ssl 09:29 6:36 /usr/bin/brltty
root 5038 0.0 0.0 112832 2524 tty1 S+ 20:38 0:00 grep --color=auto brltty
> Is there an error in your brltty log that says something like "can't open beeper device"?
`journalctl -b0 |grep beeper` gives no output.
