Ah, I see. Do you have the makedev package installed? If not, "zypper in makedev" an reading "man 8 makedev" may help. I think the "update" option looks promising.
Nooo.. Werner, you are giving all sorts of bad or really outdated advice.. you should not use makedev or any other sort of hack for dealing with device nodes.. nor use "ln -s" nor anything else than writting proper udev rules. It won't work.
This is the deal:
- If the package used to manage this UPS is included in the distribution, it has to be fixed to just work.
Unfortunately, it is not.
- If this package is not part of openSUSE, you need to provide udev rules suitable for the task.
Nothing else will really work and will break more soon than later.
The question seems to be - this software recognises /dev/ttyS0 as a "genuine" serial port (and attempts to talk to the UPS with that), but refuses to work with /dev/usb/hiddev0 no matter what I do. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
