Bug Description

loud pc-speaker like beep when rebooting under systemd.... literary no idea where it's coming from. I hope it will just go away by itself once we port more jobs over to systemd.

Seems the mystery was solved: The beeping seems to be caused by brltty. The init.d script reads /etc/default/brltty which has "RUN_BRLTTY=no", so we never actually run this by default. But the systemd unit does start it. Apparently brltty produces the beeps as a kind of notification to blind users, so it sounds plausible that this is deliberate.

So I think what we should do here is to make the systemd unit respect the default file.

This bug was fixed in the package brltty - 5.0-2ubuntu3

---------------
brltty (5.0-2ubuntu3) utopic; urgency=medium

  * debian/brltty.service: Respect disabling of brltty in the /etc/default
    file. Turn this into a "Type=simple" job by running in the foreground so
    that the unit can tell apart "disabled" from "running". (LP: #1316804)
