beware that udev rules location have changed! these were previously in /etc/udev and are now in /lib/udev... the correct rule should already be present in this file (with MODE=664). > [root@localhost init.d]# /sbin/upsdrvctl start > Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.3 > Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.04 (2.6.3) > Supported UPS detected with mustek protocol > Vendor information unavailable > Battery runtime will not be calculated (runtimecal not set) I've recently committed a small improvement to guesstimate runtime. this will be available in the upcoming 2.6.4. before adding this new entry, have you tested the shutdown procedure? http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html#footnotes cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list Nut-upsdev@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
