Hi Russel, just a question: have plugged your UPS USB cord before or after having installed nut? the udev script is there to do the job, but I've recently made a change to the package to fire up the udev restart upon install. Otherwise, if the UPS USB cord was already plugged in, the device is not reachable for the nut user... QED

I've tried several time to launch a project to make a good docbook doc, but each time, the doc writers have silently gone... - the HAL support is also coming with 2.2.0 (for USB only). This means that having the package (nut-hal-drivers) installed (and I'll lobby for an inclusion in the base system), you don't have to configure nor do anything apart plugging your UPS USB cord once. Then, HAL and Gnome-Power-manager fires up and do the job... I have feisty packages underhand if you're interested in (and I'm interested in feedback ;-)) Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ OpenSource Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ -- Incorrect group for USB device in NUT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
