[arch-general] Fwd: Re: [Nut-upsdev] usbhid-ups causing hang on boot with 2.6.35 - any ideas?

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

	Below are the thoughts from the NUT developer on what to check in the Arch NUT 
package to see if recent changes to udev bus designations, and permission are 
incorporated. My guess is that it is udev related since 50% of the time it boots 
and loads usbhid-ups just fine and everything works, other times, it hangs 
loading usbhid-ups and nothing works. Hope this helps.

That address isn't old, but the mailserver is configured to only
accept messages from the mailinglist server.

This means the driver isn't running (but you probably already knew that).

The above two error messages indicate there is a problem with logging
into the server. You could run the server in debug mode, but my guess
is this has to do with either NUT being build with tcp-wrappers
support and you failed setting this up properly (see 'man 8 upsd') or
the credentials you're using are incorrect.

This looks like the udev rules are incorrect. If memory serves, there
have been some changes in the syntax (BUS was changed to SUBSYSTEMS).
Other than that, there are no known issues.

Best regards, Arjen
