Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody out there has got the APC
Back-UPS up and running under mandrake. I tried the
red-hat rpms of PowerChute (available from the
www.apcc.com) and they loaded nicely in Mandrake 8.0.
However the soltware could not communicate with he
serial-input port /dev/ttyS0. I get the message
/dev/ttyS0 appears to be a local control port
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Port must be configured for modem control in
order to work
with a
"Simple" Signaling UPS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I try to "cu" to this port I get
cu -l /dev/modem
cu: creat (/var/lock/TMP0000000c8b): Permission denied
cu: /dev/modem: Line in use
Anybody got past this point in the installation. I
also tried the nut program without success.
P.S. Yes, I do gave the infamous 940-0020B serial
cable from APC, which is the one that supposedly
works???
Mick
