hi list,
im running debian/testing(act. squeeze) with 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel.
first
tried apcupsd what flawlessly worked but because i run nagios (needs nut
running for 'check_ups'), im trying to run nut.
dmesg and syslog show the device:

lsusb doesnt show it. (maybe because usb is statically compiled in?)
kate:/# grep -w CONFIG_USB /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_USB=y
but the hiddevice is there
kate:/# ls -la /dev/hid*
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 180, 96 27. Jul 00:08 /dev/hiddev0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 250, 0 27. Jul 00:08 /dev/hidraw0
tried using usbhid-ups driver and even with setting the option variable
"cable" to "940-0127E" i had no luck.
genericups with all possible upstypes doesnt work either.
any ideas?
chris
NUT' USB drivers use the libusb, so the usbfs on Linux (ie
/dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY)
depending on your exact distro version, the udev rule is located in
/etc/udev/rules.d (old path) or /lib/udev/rules.d (new path). Generally,
putting "auto" as the port value is sufficient.
to make a quick test, launch the driver as root, ie:
/path/to/usbhid-ups -u root -a upsname
it should acquire the connexion and talk to the device.
if it's ok, also try lsusb as root, you should see your device. then
check the devices permissions, with the info from lsusb (Bus XXX, Device
YYY) on /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY
it should be sufficient for the "nut" user (the exact user name depends
on the distro...)
cheers,
Arnaud
i have no /dev/bus but /dev/usb/:
usb1 usb4 usbdev1.1_ep00 usbdev2.1_ep00
usbdev3.1_ep00 usbdev3.4_ep00 usbdev4.1_ep00 usbdev5.1_ep00 usbmon1
usbmon4
usb2 usb5 usbdev1.1_ep81 usbdev2.1_ep81
usbdev3.1_ep81 usbdev3.4_ep81 usbdev4.1_ep81 usbdev5.1_ep81 usbmon2
usbmon5
usb3 usbdev1.1 usbdev2.1 usbdev3.1
usbdev3.4 usbdev4.1 usbdev5.1 usbmon0 usbmon3
i didnt touch udev but nut is there..
kate:/etc/nut# find /etc/udev/rules.d/ -name ??-nut*
/etc/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules
kate:/etc/nut# find /lib/udev/rules.d/ -name ??-nut*
kate:/etc/nut#
libusb seems to be installed according to dpkg.
kate:/etc/nut# dpkg -l libusb* | grep ii
ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13
userspace USB programming library
ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.0-1
userspace USB programming library
putting "auto" as the port value doesnt work either.
kate:/etc/nut# tail -n 10 ups.conf
# To find out if your driver supports any extra settings, start it with
# the -h option and/or read the driver's documentation.
[UPS]
driver = usbhid-ups
# driver = genericups
# upstype=12
# port = /dev/hiddev0
port = auto
desc = "APC Back-UPS ES 700"
# cable = 940-0127E
kate:/etc/nut# upsdrvctl -u root start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.1)

No matching HID UPS found

kate:/etc/nut# /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -u root -a UPS
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.1)
USB communication driver 0.31
No matching HID UPS found
(no nut-entries in syslog after running upsdrvctl or the driver itself)
further recommendations?
regards,
chris
