[Nut-upsuser] SUSE 10.0 and MGE Ellipse

[Paul Mogren]

Greetings Arnaud and others,
 
 I've been using NUT with Gentoo Linux for a couple of years now. I recently installed SUSE Linux 10.0 and I'm having difficulty getting it to recognize my UPS (MGE Ellipse).
 
 I tried the MGE-PSP package, but the GUI crashes immediately on startup. I decided to get just NUT running correctly before worrying about that. I uninstalled MGE-PSP and am left wtih the NUT 2.0.2-4 package from MGE.
 
 This thread from June/July 2005 shed some light on the problem:

 For me, hotplug is not calling the libhidups script to the correct permissions on the USB device. If I fix it manually (e.g. by running "ACTION=add DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/002/002 TYPE=usb /etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups"), NUT works fine. However, the permissions are reset on reboot. Same if I unplug and reconnect the USB cable, a new device is created with the wrong permissions (root:root/0644).
 
 I suppose I could write myself an init script to fix the permissions before NUT starts, but I'd rather just get hotplug to do what is expected of it. Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 Paul Mogren
