Pawerware 5110 UPS

[tchoklat]

When I used PCLinuxOS I was able to install the UPS management software from the site <http://powerquality.eaton.com/Support/Software-Drivers/Downloads/lansafe6.asp> after registration. I chose the 32 bit tar file for linux.

It does not install on UBUNTU and gives a persistent fault as follows -

tony@tony-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./install.sh

I cannot see what is happening or what I should do. Can anyone help. I would prefer to use this as it was easy to setup and does not use NUT.

Ask in support.

pclinux is based on mandriva which is a fedora based distro.
stuff meant for fedora based distros are unfortunately sometimes incompatible with ubuntu.

perhaps

sudo mkdir /etc/init.d/rc0.d/

[tchoklat]

You little ripper Carlee, that mkdir command did the trick. It is intalled, now I will turn off the powere and see if it works BRB ....

Arrgghh! It installs fine, though does not detect the UPS on USB nor does it shut the system down despite it being there;

I guess I will have to go back to the manufacturers!
