<div> I have SUSE 10.0 and an MGE Ellipse. I installed the NUT package from MGE.<br> <br> 1) The generated ups.conf pointed to a bad location: /dev//dev/input/event0</div></blockquote><div><br>who generated that ?<br>it seems like an old hiddev / hidups detection that failed

<br> a) Customize the kernel to exclude CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT<br> b) Add a udev rule: KERNEL=="hiddev*", NAME="usb/hid/%k", MODE="666"<br> c) Set the port in ups.conf to /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0
<span class="ad"><br></span></div></blockquote></div><br>we're currently in the process of removing hidups.<br>It will still be present in 2.0.x, but with a warning, and will then be replaced by newhidups in 2.2.x.<br><br>
So all hidups users are encouraged to migrate to newhidups.<br>For non MGE units (mainly APC, TrippLite, Powerware), you must use a 2.0.3-pre or higher version.<br clear="all"><br>Arnaud<br>-- <br>Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt
