<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just installed version 2.2.1 and have the same
problem reported in this chain. I have Mandriva Linux 2008.1 with a Tripplite
USB 500 no break. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I start the upsdrvctl I get the "Startup timer
elapsed, continuing..." message and then a upsd can't connect error. I
copied the file usbhid-ups from version 2.2.0 from another Mandriva
system and everything works fine now. Its not permissions or other
configuration stuff I believe. I can see from the changelog that changes where
made to tripplite stuff from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, maybe something went
bad.</FONT></DIV>
