Package: nut-usb Version: 2.0.5-1 Severity: normal My computer has several usbhid devices:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/udev/rules.d>ls -l /dev/usb total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 96 Jan 30 14:26 hiddev0 crw-rw-r-- 1 root nut 180, 97 Jan 30 14:36 hiddev1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 98 Jan 30 14:26 hiddev2 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 Jan 30 14:26 lp0 It's impossible to predict what the device will be to hardcode it for the hidups driver in in ups.conf. And newhidups with its probing doesn't seem to work. There's a really easy fix for this, if you know udev. Just add this to the end of 025_nut-usbups.rules, just before the ending LABEL: GROUP=="nut", NAME="ups%n" Now UPSes show up as /dev/ups1 etc. Please consider doing this by default. Even systems that arn't bitten by it currently can be: as soon as a second USB hid device is plugged in, their nut can easily stop working at the next reboot. That can be bad.. Of course there is an upgrade path issue, but I think it can be done. If you decide not to do it by default, please at least document how to do it in the package so that people who don't grok USB have a chance of getting it working.
