there are several issues with SuSE / Novell, I've mostly solved
with the new Personal Solution Pac and associated packages...

Your issue should be with USB file permissions and hotplug
files (see newhidups manpage, section INSTALLATION).
You basically need to copy nut/scripts/hotplug/libhidups (+ chmod
a+x) and libhid.usermap). Then unplug / replug the USB cord,
and restart NUT.

But prefer to register to the PSP Beta Test, and follow the installation
procedure:

Same Problem. No GUI.

Hope you got an Idea for Console User ;)

Thanks

Ok done but the same Permisson Error.
Try with -u root

backup:~ # /usr/lib/ups/driver/newhidups -u root AUTO

Check that you have permissions to write to 001/002 and, if you don't, 
that you set up hotplug (http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/) 
correctly.
USB error: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy

So I think I got a hotplug problem.
May sombody got an Idea  how i resolve this.

you should have add the "-DDDDD" to see newhidups' internal
trace...

thanks to test this again (with "-u nobody") with the above
instructions, and to do an "ls -l" on the device (ie below:
"/proc/bus/usb/001/002")
The more information we have at once, the quicker we can solve
the problem.

it seems, but I'm still unsure as I've succeeded doing the
same tests on the same SuSE release.
