CLOSED Upower and my Tripp-Lite UPS

lenhuppe · 2024-09-06 12:10:46

I use Gnome and upower does not commicate with my Tripp-Lite UPS unless I unplug the USB cable and replug it. I installed poweralertd along with optional mako and that made no difference.
I have poweralertd running in user space and according to https://github.com/emersion/mako I don't need to explicitly start mako. Still nothing unless I unplug the USB and replug.

Any ideas?

Many attempts to find a workaround have all failed.
I tried resetting the UPS, resetting the USB bus and rescanning the USB bus.
Unless I unplug and replug the USB cable the UPS is not seen.
I returned the UPS for a refund

If you find a solution please post it.
