ok, so no PSP, just NUT...

thanks to send back:
- output of "ls -lR /proc/bus/usb"
- output of "lsusb"
- output of "ls -l /etc/hotplug/usb/"
- output of "rpm -q nut"
- files: /etc/ups/*

right, sorry. You should have contacted us directly for support.
That's another interest of being an MGE customer.

of course.

Be sure to use nut 2.0.2 as I've made important
changes to newhidups in this release...

So, if not already done, install the NUT packages from MGE:
http://opensource.mgeups.com/suse/RPMS/i586/nut-2.0.2-1.i586.rpm

then:
- validate that the right privileges are set on the /proc/bus/usb/XXX/Y=
YY
You can get XXX and YYY for lsusb output (ie Bus 002 Device 001: ID 046=
3:ffff
give XXX =3D 002 and YYY =3D 001)
If it's not good, unplug / replug the USB UPS cord (maybe need a reboot=
,
as restarting hotplug seems not sufficient enough on SuSE).
- when the above is ok, stop NUT and validate newhidups is stopped
("/etc/init.d/ups stop" and "killall -9 newhidups" will ensure this)
- then "export USB_DEBUG=3D3", start newhidups in debug mode
("/usr/lib/ups/drivers/newhidups -DDDDD auto") and send us back
the output.

Arnaud
