[Nut-upsuser] Usbhip-ups going wild

[Antoine Gatineau]

Thanks for the info.
 
I use the first approach. 
So, if I understood well, the nut-hal support (ie, the --with-hal) is used
only for the 2nd approach. Udev rules are dealt when using --with-usb.
Is that correct?
 
If so, I might be able to rebuild the nut-2.4.1 pachage for RHEL4.
For packaging help (I think I might need some for the next stage ;-) ) do I
continue this thread or use the nut-packaging list (or both).

I might ask a stupid question but isn't hal used to manage the UPS device
and connection through udev rules?
I though that hal was mostly usefull with usb...

In the nut-hal document, it is said that HAL "allows NUT drivers to feed the
HAL system, which will itself feeds
applications such as the Gnome Power Manager"
Does that mean hal is not used for managing the battery itself but sees the
nut driver as a "pseudo real  battery"? In this case, indeed, I do not need
it.
I use upsmon for power management.



not at all. there are 2 approaches:
- the standard one, where you have a driver (usbhid-ups), upsd and upsmon.
udev only applies the device privileges rules.
- the Integrated Power Management approach, where NUT USB driver can feed
data to HAL (instead of upsd), replacing the basic USB/HID support in HAL.
Note that HAL is being superseded by DeviceKit and DeviceKit-power.
This approach will probably be abandonned...

use that one.
install it and edit the spec.
modifying --with-all by --with-usb should be sufficient.


cheers,
