Hi, I'm wondering whether this could be the same issue I'm having. I emailed about this about two weeks ago or so. I'm trying to get NUT to work with my Unitek Alpha 1200sx. The driver is the megatec_usb one. When the driver does successfully load, it seems to work fine. However, more often than not, the driver fails to start with the following error message:
------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups]# /sbin/upsdrvctl -DDDDD start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.0- Starting UPS: unial1200 exec: /sbin/megatec_usb -a unial1200 Network UPS Tools 2.2.0- - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.4 [megatec_usb] Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2007 Serial-over-USB transport layer for Megatec protocol driver [megatec_usb] Broadcast message from nut (Sun Jan 13 18:34:29 2008): UPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] is unavailable Megatec protocol UPS not detected. Driver failed to start (exit status=1) --------------- I'm using the NUT version bundled with Fedora 8. Is there anyway I can verify if this is the same issue? Ideally I'd just like to compile/try a different version of the driver and not install NUT entirely from source.. Many thanks, Joe On Jan 13, 2008 8:13 AM, Alexander I.
