Just installed version 2.2.1 and have the same problem reported in this chain. I
have Mandriva Linux 2008.1 with a Tripplite USB 500 no break.
When I start the upsdrvctl I get the "Startup timer elapsed,
continuing..." message and then a upsd can't connect error. I copied
the file usbhid-ups from version 2.2.0 from another Mandriva system and
everything works fine now. Its not permissions or other configuration stuff I
believe. I can see from the changelog that changes where made to tripplite stuff
from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, maybe something went bad.
Saludos / Regards
