ttyS0 seems to be held by brltty
I've recently migrated from RH to Debian/Knoppix and I always run a server reading weather info from my weather station on /dev/ttyS0. Since my migration to Debian/Knoppix, that stopped working and I found out it's because the ttyS0 port as getting used by the brltty server. It's started in rcS.d.
when I ran /etc/init.d/brltty stop it still wouldn't stop so it had to be killed with "killall brltty"
Anyway, I thought this might be of interest to anybody expecting to use ttyS0.
I've not checked if this is related only to a Knoppix/hdd_install or if it does this from CDROM. I'm running from a knoppix_installer installation( v3.2 7/26/03 ).
cheers.
Re: ttyS0 seems to be held by brltty
--If you want to stop brltty from starting permanently. you have a couple of options.
o mkdir /etc/rcS.d/disabled; Go into /etc/rcS.d and mv the S??brltty symlink to the disabled dir
o mv S??brltty ss??brltty (my method)
o apt-get remove --purge brltty
