[Bug 2039374] Re: xbrlapi causes long delay in GUI login

[Samuel thibault]

This is very surprising: what xbrlapi tries to connect to by default is
a local socket in /var/lib/BrlAPI/0 so that should be completely
independent from TCP/IP networking configuration, and should be either
succeeding or failing immediately.

Just to be sure: Does /var/lib/BrlAPI/0 exist? Is brltty running on your
system? If you have a brltty daemon running it'd be useful to check for
its logs.

Perhaps you can log into a text console and run strace on the stuck
xbrlapi command:

    strace -p $(pidof xbrlapi)

so we get to know what it is stuck on.

Title:
  xbrlapi causes long delay in GUI login

Status in brltty package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS 
  xbrlapi 6.4-4ubuntu3

  After logging in to the GUI, there is a delay of over 2 minutes before
  the desktop environment loads (screen will be black with a mouse
  cursor)

  This is caused by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xbrlapi

  The script runs xbrlapi, which hangs for 2 minutes or so, presumably
  because it is trying to connect to a BrlAPI server that doesn't exist
  on my machine.

  I guess this packages was installed by orca, because I did not
  directly install it myself and I don't need it.

  Did not happen before 22.04
