ISP mail servers were down for awhile today, and I did (despite what they promised) lose a few emails here, including the most recent one on this thread, and Carlos's and jdd's replies to that. So (thank <insert deity name here> for the list archives)... for Carlos: su won't work if you're trying to use the web interface.. logging in as root in a separate X session is out for philosophical/political reasons ;) for jdd: that did it, thanks.. and it's "root", not the user. You get one crack at it, and that is all -- I think that may be per session, but not really too sure. I booted up in the old OS installation to check the printer there, to be sure it's not a hardware error.. printer works. I'm in the process of comparing all the old vs. new config files to see what, if any, changes I might have had to make in 42.x to get this thing working. Nothing so far. I'll get back to this later, for now I have other things to deal with. Just as an aside (this was one of those "other things").. I used to have a APC UPS for my system, and was using the apcupsd package. Now I have a CyberPower unit, so I wanted to switch to NUT... what a nightmare trying to configure that so I could get any info out of it. On that reboot into 42.1 (yes, I was still running that old thing), I discovered quite by accident that apcupsd is quite happy talking to the CyberPower UPS, though the power usage seems to have gone up quite a bit. No idea why that is, but at least I have a working UPS monitor again. So it would seem that apcupsd is a viable solution for quite a few UPSes, even if APC didn't build them. Just a FWIW for anyone else who's a bit intimidated by NUT. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
