<div>Greetings Arnaud and others,</div></blockquote><div><br>Hi Paul, <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div> I've been using NUT with Gentoo Linux for a couple of years now. I recently installed SUSE Linux
10.0 and I'm having difficulty getting it to recognize my UPS (MGE Ellipse).<br> <br> I tried the MGE-PSP package, but the GUI crashes immediately on startup. I decided to get just NUT running correctly before worrying about that. I uninstalled MGE-PSP and am left wtih the NUT
2.0.2-4 package from MGE.</div></blockquote><div><br>I also found a minor ABI incompatibility between glibmm 2.4 (linked with PSP) and 2.8 (shipped with suse 10) which lead to that crash.<br>Simply rebuilding the packages on suse 10 did the trick...

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2005-July/000037.html</a><br> <br> For me, hotplug is not calling the libhidups script to the correct permissions on the USB device. If I fix it manually (e.g. by running "ACTION=add DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/002/002 TYPE=usb /etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups"), NUT works fine. However, the permissions are reset on reboot. Same if I unplug and reconnect the USB cable, a new device is created with the wrong permissions
(root:root/0644).<br> <br> I suppose I could write myself an init script to fix the permissions before NUT starts, but I'd rather just get hotplug to do what is expected of it. Any ideas?<br></div></blockquote></div><br>
quite franckly, I've searched and not found anything working fine.<br>The only solution I've found, while waiting for better, is to start nut as root (to do this, I was really out of solution). This is a udev system, without the old hotplug support, and which seems broken to me. Anyhow, I've got to investigate and contact our (MGE) SuSE / Novell partner.
<br><br>I've just released these packages internally for qualification tests, so these should be out in about a week).<br><br>Thanks for your report,<br clear="all">Arnaud<br>-- <br>Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt
