Comment 6 for bug 1782320

Note: to reproduce the issue, one just needs to install an Ubuntu 18.04 system, start brltty by hand as root with:

  sudo brltty -b no

then try to connect to it as normal logged-in user through brlapi:

  python3
  >>> import brlapi
  >>> b = brlapi.Connection()

which shouldn't raise an exception. Logs can be seen in /var/log/syslog (unfortunately the current package source code only prints errno instead of the GError).
