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 [\xffffffd0\xffffff89\xffffff89 UPS USB MON V1.4] on usb-0000:00:02.0-3/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.
