UPS monitor software?

English Hardware
1

Hello.

i am trying to find a ups monitoring software that will be able to control my UPS ADVICE pr650.

i have downloaded NUT but it’s really complicated.
i couldn’t even start the program let alone make all the basic configuration.

The original software i got from the vendor is applicable to Linux Novell NetWare.
i have no idea if i can use it on opensuse.

thank you for your help

Hi
Just plug (USB?) the device in and check dmesg to see if it’s
recognized. The power management daemon should automatically see it and
take appropriate actions without the need for further software.

What is dmesg?
Where is the power management deamon?

Perhaps if you only used one thread for one issue you would see all the replies you have received.

The reason i opened up another thread is that the Title of the first one did not represent the issue i am now facing.

Hi
the dmesg command is run from the CLI (console/konsole)


dmesg

You should see something like the following;


usb 5-4.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hiddev96hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite  TRIPP LITE UPS ] on
usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.1
usb 5-4.1: New USB device found, idVendor=09ae, idProduct=1003 usb
5-4.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=2 usb
5-4.1: Product: TRIPP LITE UPS usb 5-4.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite
usb 5-4.1: SerialNumber: xxxxxx A

The power management icon usually resides in the task bar notification
area.

This is what i get when running dmesg in console:

IRQ_DISABLED set                                       
unexpected IRQ trap at vector 9b                         
irq 155, desc: c052eb00, depth: 1, count: 0, unhandled: 0

->action(): 00000000                                     
  IRQ_DISABLED set

this message is duplicated about 30 times in the konsol.

I have no power management icon.

the installation is a clean one of opensuse 11.1 with kde 4.2RC.

I use Power Manager 2.22.1 with APC Back-UPS 800 plugged via USB-RJ45 cable that ships with the device. It`s simple and has basically only one type of functions - what actions to take in case of low battery power. You would need some gnome packages to install the program. I suggest using yast for that purpose.

Hi
Not sure about that error… If you unplug the device, run dmesg
command do you see a usb event of something being removed. Then plug
the device in and check dmesg again, do you see the device appear?

There is no usb event when i plug in the device or when the device is unpluged.

the error is the only thing that appears when usind dmesg.

i have usb flash connected and it works fine.

but dmesg or the power menagement deamon dont work.
