I have a similar issue. I have a CyberPower UPS and should be using |
| 32 |
powstatd but it is not in portage and I have no clue how to get it there |
| 33 |
and the person who wrote powstatd doesn't know either. I have apcups |
| 34 |
installed but it does not work like it should. If I am not here to cut |
| 35 |
off the computer then I am stuck. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Anybody know a easy way to get something in portage? I don't know near |
| 38 |
enough to do it myself, about portage or powstatd. I tried to install |
| 39 |
manually once, no worky just errors. Worked fine in Mandrake though. |
