apcupsd problem
Feb 5th 2013, 02:24

Having some problems starting apcupsd , followed the manual on the apcupsd site, basically just installed the package with 'zypper in apcupsd' , then edited the apcupsd.conf file, deleted everything that was inside and placed this instead :
Code:

## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ##
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
LOCKFILE /var/lock
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable

executed 'apcupsd start' as root , nothing was reported, but the driver isn't running, 'tail /var/log/messages' gives this :
Code:

Feb  5 02:36:57 linux-kjcm apcupsd[22073]: apcupsd FATAL ERROR in linux-usb.c at line 614
Feb  5 02:36:57 linux-kjcm apcupsd[22073]: apcupsd error shutdown completed

Obviously manual on that site is somewhat old, but anyhow 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' isn't working on newer kernels and I don't know how to proceed further.

'lsusb' produces this :
Code:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0471:0815 Philips (or NXP) eHome Infrared Receiver
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 192f:0416 Avago Technologies, Pte.

Am I missing something ?
