I looked at that, and the current version does support my UPS, but the
current ports version doesn't. Thx for leading me in the right
direction, I'll see if I can help update it to the current version.

upsd for Belkin F6C120-UNV?

2004-05-20 Thread Miles Lubin
All the ups ports seem to be only for APC UPSs, but I have a Belkin
F6C120-UNV connected over usb (it is recognized as uhid0 when
connected). Serial would be ok, but I don't see any ports that would
work for that either. On Belkin.com there is ups daemon there for
FreeBSD 2.2.8. which doesnt work. Has anyone with the same model gotten it
working?

Any help is appreciated,
Miles

HP Printer not working?

I have an i386 running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and KDE, but I can't get my printer

and cups, but don't know which one to use or what the difference is. So
can anyone guide a Windows user to an easy howto?

I just set up my deskjet 5550 connected by USB today with CUPS. It worked perfectly in 
5 minutes. All I needed to do was connect to the CUPS server and set up the printer on 
/dev/ulpt0 with the new deskjet driver (built in). It was so easy it was almost plug 
and play! Follow http://www.freebsddiary.org/cups.php and you will be fine. Dont 
forget to change PATH or it wont work.

Re: Supporting backup batteries over serial port?

2004-04-25 Thread Miles Lubin
1. Backup (PowerChute-like app, from Belkin?) -- don't know of any
alternative in FreeBSD

I have an F6C120-UNV UPS from Belkin, and on the website it has Linux
Bulldog v3.01.12 at
http://web.belkin.com/support/download/downloaddetails.asp?download=824lang=1

This works fine for me.

Note - im connecting by network to the ups, not sure how well it manages
the serial port.

 What? C++ code is converted to C? Which compiler are you using, and why the 
 hell would a compiler do this?
 
 I would definitely recommend to start with assembly. It gives you a good 
 understanding of the hardware, and every programming language you learn 
 afterwards will be a piece of cake. Then get a good reference (some have 
 already been mentioned) and start coding a real program right away, skip that 
 boring hello world stuff. I learned seven programming languages in five 
 months with this method.

I believe origionally that C++ compilers converted C++ to C.

I'm not sure about starting with assembly, it could be overwhelming.
I started with Basic, and I learned all the other languages fine.
