Package: apcupsd Version: 3.14.4-1lenny1 Severity: normal man apcupsd does not mention USB connections or many recent models of APC UPS's. Fortunately, the apcupsd web site does, and the version in Debian supports them.
/usr/share/doc/apcupsd/apcupsd.man does mention USB, though it says it is obsolete on the top. The comments in apcupsd.conf do mention USB. For the record, the key points I got were 1. UPSCABLE and UPSTYPE should both be usb. 2. DEVICE should be commented out. 3. NETSERVER must be on if you want to monitor battery status (apcaccess), even if you are running a single machine directly connected to a single UPS. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apcupsd depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-12 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny1 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra Versions of packages apcupsd recommends: ii apcupsd-doc 3.14.4-1lenny1 APC UPS Power Management (document Versions of packages apcupsd suggests: pn apcupsd-cgi <none> (no description available) ii hal 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii udev 0.125-7+lenny1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
