Tripp Lite PowerAlert works in Manjaro
Not surprising, it uses Java.
It’s easy, download the Fedora RPM. Extract it, I right clicked it, and selected Extract to folder, made a new folder.
Then copy everything in the folder to the root of your drive, sudo cp -R * /, run that in the folder you extracted it to.
Then make a service file for systemd.
[Unit] Description=pald [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/var/tripplite/poweralert/engine/pald Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
I named it pald.service, and put it in /lib/systemd/, then made a symlink to the /etc/systemd/system folder. And I should of put it in /lib/systemd/system. Command is for if you put it in /lib/systemd/system. It doesn’t really matter where you put it, you can put it in /etc/systemd/system.
sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/pald.service /etc/systemd/system
Then reload systemd and enable it.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now pald
To run the console, run pal_console.sh.
/var/tripplite/poweralert/console/pal_console.sh
Also, there’s probably open source software that’s better. Linux reads the UPS fine.
Now if only DisplayCAL would load my profile on login.
