[Nut-upsuser] Problems suse 9.3, ellipse premium 500

[rimabel at upvnet.upv.es]

Hi,

I have installed in suse 9.3 and ellipse premium 500 usb a psp 3.0 with yast2
and versions:

nut-2.0.2-4
mgeups-psp-3.0.0-3

the first time that I launch psp it seems to contact
the UPS and you can make changes to the parameters
and all seems ok. If you make a reboot the psp hangs
up and if you try /etc/init.d/ups it fails:

Starting service NUT:
-> Starting UPS driver:
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.2
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.23 (2.0.2)

No USB/HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

ups.conf is with root:nobody permissions:

[sai_name]
        driver = newhidups
        port = auto
        desc = "Computer Room"


lsusb output is ok:
...
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS
...

ls -lr /proc/bus/usb/002 seems ok:

/proc/bus/usb/002:

drwxr-xr-x  6 root root  0 Feb  3 12:40 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 43 Feb  3 12:40 001
-rw-r--r--  1 root nobody 52 Feb  3 12:40 002

ls -al /etc/hotplug/usb/ seems ok:
...

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   481 Sep  8 13:35 libhidups
...

Then I try:

export USB_DEBUG=3D3
/usr/lib/ups/driver/newhidups -DDDDD auto
or /usr/lib/ups/driver/newhidups -DDDDD nobody auto

and they give the same message:

Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.23 (2.0.2)

I have installed Ellipse premium 500 without problems in suse 9.2.

Someone has had similar problems and have solved?.

Best regards.
