Nevermind, I found it:
mknod /dev/hiddev0 c 180 96
that's good, cause it don't happen here. No setch monster :^(
Should I have it?
If you don't have it, you might want to create it and try again. Without it, it would make sense that you can't talk to it.... Recall usr/share/doc/packages/nut/README.SUSE
I see that, but "man newhidups" and /usr/share/doc/packages/nut/INSTALL both indicate that "port = auto" will suffice for a "single" usb ups unit.
One other thing that is bugging me is that upsd won't start under user upsd.
It is a good user:
upsd:x:113:2:UPS daemon:/sbin:/bin/false
It owns the ups directory:
drwx------ 2 upsd root 4096 2008-06-26 22:40 ups
If you try and start it as upsd, it fails claiming no HID UPS:
[22:46 nirvana/var/lib] # /usr/lib/ups/driver/upsdrvctl -D -u upsd start nirvana_ups Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.0- Starting UPS: nirvana_ups Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.2.0-)
No matching HID UPS found Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
....
Detected a UPS: CPS/UPS CP1000AVRLCD Using subdriver: APC/CyberPower HID 0.9
don't know here, you have a different unit. I had a CyberPower under SuSE 9.0 working with a self compiled driver from CyberPower, but I never got it working under openSUSE 10.1. The unit would provide power across short interruptions, but would not power down the computer. It would just run dead and stop. BUT this was satisfactory until the storms this year, the interruptions were of very short duration, usually less than two minutes. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
