I have this problem too on Fedora 11 i686.  On Fedora 10 this device worked out of the box and an icon appeared in the system tray next to the Network Manager.

dmesg

I have the same problem on Fedora 11 i686 and APC Back-UPS ES 600, which was ok on Fedora 10.

The problem is in DeviceKit-power, which now is supposed to handle these devices.

Also see Bug 498403 for something similar.

It's broken for me as well, though with a Belkin USB UPS instead.

I think something's either wrong the with udev rules or with Devicekit-power in general with how it deals with UPSes.

After downloading and installing DeviceKit-power-009-1.fc11
from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=6888, the problem has been solved for Fedora11 and APC Back-UPS ES 600. Thanks!

this still doesnt solve my problem....

Can you please _attach_ the output from "devkit-power --dump" and "udevadm info --export-db" please?

Richard.

certainly richard,

devkit-power --dump produces

  can-hibernate    yes

  on-low-battery:  no

  lid-is-present:   no

udevadm info --export-db produces

hmmm... a big file

see this link - 

http://bradchaus.pastebin.com/m1b0cb6bf

Looks like we just need to add another ID for the vendor. Can you get me the output of:

udevadm info --attribute-walk -p /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/usb/hiddev0

please. Thanks.

I dont know if this is right ... its well above me .. but this is the output of that command ...


Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

Okay, I was expecting "ffff" for idProduct, it looks like a firmware upgrade might have changed the model. Can you try editing (as root) /lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit-power-hid.rules and change the line from:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="06da", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ffff", ENV{DKP_BATTERY_TYPE}="ups"

to

ATTRS{idVendor}=="06da", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", ENV{DKP_BATTERY_TYPE}="ups"

and then saving then restarting the computer. Hopefully when you restart you should have a UPS device listed in devkit-power --dump and in the UI for gnome-power-manager.

ok, done that, rebooted PC, double checked, rebooted PC and reset UPS, ...

no good. no change

I missed this before -- do you have nut-hal installed?

i did, but have since removed it with no change.

anything else I can test or tell you?
