[Bug 422177] [NEW] nut init isn't functional at all

[ilna]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nut

Up to date Kubuntu Karmic is in use.

Recently I have tried to install nut and faced with these problems:

1. hal starts  'hald-addon-hid-ups' process which is not compatible with
nut. To prevent the starting I have added the file:

$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/10-ignore-power-mgmt.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

  <device>
    <match key="usb_device.vendor_id" int="1892">
      <match key="usb_device.product_id" int="1281">
        <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>

</deviceinfo>

where usb_device.xxx_id were found with 'hal-device'. Probably more
common UPS-related matching exists, but I have not found it.

2. I have added nut and ups-monitor services to default runlevels, but
nothing starts. To force nut be usable I manually start it via:

$ sudo upsdrvctl start
$ sudo upsd

Only at this point KNutClient is able to connect the service.
