Does anyone have nut with hal working for a ups connected to a usb port?
I'm trying to get mine to work, and the docs say gnome-power-manager
should pop-up and let me see and do things, but nothing happened.
lsusb sees the ups on a usb port, but that's all I can say. I believe no
driver is being loaded for the ups, so probably hal (or maybe udev) is
not doing what should be doing. I'll be happy to provide any necessary
information to figure this out. I'd appreciate any clue from anyone who
has this thing working under hal.
I run GNOME, and all I did was plug in the cable. I have a power icon on
the bar, and I can configure what it does. So trouble-free that I'm
about to reinstall my firewall from Slackware to take advantage of the
pain-free "just works" capability.
I would love to monitor several UPS from a single machine, but I don't
really have time to test.
