  • apcupsd and gapcmon

    From Grimble@2:250/1 to All on Wed Aug 13 11:30:35 2025
    Any users of apcupsd who can help with a problem please?
    I've installed apcupsd.3.14.14 from the Mageia repo, but I need gapcmon
    to complete the graphical interface. No gapcmon in the repo, and my
    attempt to install it from source failed during the make step -
    "undefined reference to symbol 'XUngrabServer'"

    That is strange, because the make/make install steps completed without
    problem on another Mageia 9 installation. Furthermore, on that other
    system, no file called gapcmon can be found, and the command
    gapcmon --help
    gives "command not found"

    I can see from googling that this topic was raised in relation to
    earlier releases.......

    Looking at the Release notes there are 4 references to that module but I
    did not install it, nor is it present on my system as checked with MCC->s/w install etc.

    Above checked looking at the sources for 3.14.4 that I used prior to
    current installation.
