Is anyone on this list familiar with and/or using e17.2.1?
I have been using e16 DR17 for some time and it is very fast and works
quite well. My only problem is that the newer version which is an
upgrade of the recently officially released e17 creates a problem which
can only be resolved by removing it completely.

The problem is that libembryo0_1.7.6 is trying to install over
libembryo1_1.2.0 and is is unable to do so.
All the libraries used by e17 are version 1.7.6 and the libraries on the
system are all 1.2.0.
I have tried going in as root and manually placing the libraries and
their links in place and doing an ldconfig but the system still comes up
with the same error claiming that it needs libembryo.1.7.6 but libembryo
1.2.0 is installed (which seems strange when I have removed all traces
of it!

Any clues would be useful

Thanks
Heracles

Re: [SLUG] Installing Richcomm PowerManager on Ubuntu-type system

2013-05-07 Thread David Lyon
I've not tried with any modern devices but the older UPS's used to toggle
the CTS or DTR
data line on the serial-port to tell the PC that power was available.

The driver would simply watch the pin and when it toggled the software
would start taking
action.

These lines are still made available via the USB driver but it looks like
the issue is with
the installation section.

[SLUG] Installing Richcomm PowerManager on Ubuntu-type system

2013-05-07 Thread Edwin Humphries

G'day,

Has anyone had success installing Richcomm PowerManager USB UPS 
monitoring software? (It's the software that came with my UPS).


The install script assumes a RedHat-type file structure and displays 
errors on not finding /etc/rc.d/rc.local in my Linux-Mint system; after 
exiting the subsequent configuration script, it then shows "Init Usb 
Failed!". This despite the fact that lsusb shows the UPS up as "Bus 002 
Device 004: ID 0925:1234 Lakeview Research", and 
disconnecting/reconnecting the UPS USB cable shows up in dmesg as:

[ 7764.788092] usb 2-3: USB disconnect, device number 3
[ 7779.004071] usb 2-3: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd
[ 7779.233251] generic-usb 0003:0925:1234.0004: hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID 
v1.00 Device [\xffd0\xff89\xff89 UPS USB MON V1.4] on 
usb-:00:02.0-3/input0
[ 7780.006016] usb 2-3: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usbhid while 
'richcomm_usb' sets config #1


which all looks OK to my (admittedly untrained) eye.

I'm running LMDE 13 x64 KDE.

I have tried installing NUT, but it's somewhat beyond me, I'm afraid.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Edwin Humphries
