Re: No Braille after Debian 13 fresh installation

[Chevelle <cstrobel@purelymail.com>]

    To get ORCA to work with it, you will have to install 'xbrlapi'
    sudo apt install xbrlapi
    If the Braille display isn't working at the text console, such as
    when you press control-alt-f1, then installing 'xbrlapi' isn't going
    to help.  
    Try something like 'ps -ef|grep brltty'
    If it is running then for some reason it doesn't recognize your
    display.  You may have to turn on logging for Brltty or change a
    setting in '/etc/brltty.conf'.
