APC UPS & gnome-power-manager
Hi there,
I am running gnome-power-manager on a system which is connected to an APC Back-UPS CS 500. It appears gnome-power-manager fails to recognize the UPS, however. In the preferences window, I only have an "On AC Power" and a "General" tab. AFAIK there ought to be an "On UPS Power" tab as well.
The UPS is connected correctly, as I can query it via apcaccess.
Any hints?
Edit: Just found http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75730
Gonna see if this fixes it.

Nope, it doesn't fix my problem. I compiled devicekit-power 009 and then recompiled gnome-power-manager. No visible change.

Yes, works perfectly. *scratches head*
Edit: I have to add that on Arch (where it doesn't work) I run gnome-power-manager in a Fluxbox environment, whereas on Ubuntu it's running in Gnome.

Nope. As I said before:

Re: APC UPS & gnome-power-manager
Hum, apparently apcupsd and gnome-power-manager cannot work simultaneously. I had forgotten that apcupsd was running. After a reboot, I started gnome-power-manager and everything worked fine.
Is there a way to have both, gnome-power-manager and apcupsd, running at the same time?
