Greets all; I was just booted to mdv-2010-x64 where I found my lack of sound problems. Whoopy ding... But when I rebooted to fedora, now the driver cannot disconnect and gain access to the ups. I installed the 52-nut udev file in /etc/udev.d, and it reads that it should setup /dev/hiddev0 like this and with 0664 perms when it finds that ups: crw-rw-r-- 1 root nut 180, 0 2010-01-03 20:51 /dev/hiddev0 where hiddev0 is the ups port. But now the usbdrvctl, using usbhid-ups as the driver, reports: [root at coyote etc]# upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.1) USB communication driver 0.31 Can't claim USB device [050d:0751]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted Driver failed to start (exit status=1) From the /etc/group file: nut:x:57:ups From the /etc/passwd file: nut:x:57:57:Network UPS Tools:/var/lib/ups:/bin/false ups:x:506:506::/home/ups:/bin/bash The passwd for ups is in both the passwd file, and AFAIK in the nut config files, and they match. And this was working pretty good before I rebooted. Ideas anybody? Maybe I found it, an lsof|grep hiddev0 spits out: hald-addo 3157 root 4r CHR 180,0 0t0 1416 /dev/hiddev0 Killed, as was the 52 script in /etc/hal/fdi. Reboot time.

Reboot time. >Well, /etc/hal/fdi is now empty, and because I'd killed hald, I had to reboot with the reset button, no keyboard or mouse, but the above condition remains, and the nut driver is dead again for the same reason, it cannot take possession of /dev/hiddev0 because according to htop, hald-addon-hid-ups is listening to /dev/hiddev0 and running as root.
