I started testing the 64 bit rpms of 2.2.2-pre2 on openSUSE 10.3 with an MGE Ellipse 1500 USB. Here is my writeup of the test, with my apologies for a long post. It looks as if I have a problem with upssched.
My 64 bit rpm's are available at http://rogerprice.org/nut-2.2.2/nut-2.2.2-pre2.x86_64.rpm http://rogerprice.org/nut-2.2.2/nut-devel-2.2.2-pre2.x86_64.rpm http://rogerprice.org/nut-2.2.2/nut-hal-2.2.2-pre2.x86_64.rpm On Sun, 20 Apr 2008, Kjell Claesson wrote: > Hi Roger. > > I can answer that, so you don't have to wait :-) > > The nut-hal package is a package that contains the hal drivers and fdi file > udev rules. > > As you are using a usb ups, you may use this instead of the nut package. > If you install it, the ups gets hotplugged by udev hal and would show up as a > battery in the power monitor in Gnome.

Hello Kjell, I guess that there would be some configuration, for example to say after what interval shutdown would start, and to specify the shutdown command. > So your stationary computer look like a laptop, where you have a battery > monitor showing that the battery is loading (running on main's).

Anything to add Arjen and Charles ?) For me power monitoring should, like justice, not only be done but be seen to be done: I have gotten used to the screen display provided by mgeups-psp so I installed nut-2.2.2-pre2.x86_64.rpm and mgeups-psp-3.0.4-2 lsusb reports Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS Configuration files: # /etc/ups/ups.conf [mgeups] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto desc = "MGE Protection Center 750" vendorid = 0463 # /etc/ups/upsd.conf ACL all 0.0.0.0/0 ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32 ACCEPT localhost REJECT all # /etc/ups/upsmon.conf MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 monuser mgepass master MINSUPPLIES 1 SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +2 Arret systeme!"

And now, flags waving and fireworks for the grand opening: glacon2:~ # rcupsd start Starting NUT UPS drivers done Starting NUT UPS server done Starting NUT UPS monitor done There is no sign of action by mgeups-psp, no window, no icon. glacon2:~ # ps aux | grep ups upsd 16455 16484 1004 ?

It looks as if I have a problem with upssched - any help would be much appreciated.
