Bug#611082: apcupsd: USB problems with APC CS 500
Hi!
I'm user APC CS500 too. I tried to use 3.14.7 version of apcupsd. This
version works fine, so i tried to see difference between two versions
(3.14.7 and 3.14.8).
After experiments, i have made sure the driver is not functioning
correctly(apcupsd-3.14.8/src/drivers/usb/usb.c) and i compared the two
versions of the driver.
Experimenting with a partial return to the previous driver (commenting
on new lines in last driver), gave me stable work apcupsd with my UPS
APC CS500.
In version 3.14.8(-2) apcupsd we must commented 68 line in driver file
apcupsd-3.14.8/src/drivers/usb/usb.c, it must be like there:
line 67| {CI_VBATT, 0x00840030, P_BATTERY,
T_UNITS,true }, /* Battery Voltage */
line 68| //{CI_VBATT, 0x00840030, P_PWSUM,
T_UNITS,true }, /* Battery Voltage (alternative) */
line 69| {CI_NONE,0x00840031, P_ANY,
T_UNITS,false}, /* Current */

Hi, Where did you get 3.14.7? Regards, Hugo Vanwoerkom
Bug#611082: apcupsd: USB problems with APC CS 500
Package: apcupsd Version: 3.14.8-2 Severity: important hi, Over the past few months, it had become impossible to use apcupsd with my APC box, labeled APC Back-UPS CS 500 The symptoms are: every ~30seconds, the kernel would log a message such as [ 302.969832] usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 6 [ 302.970094] usb 3-2: ctrl urb status -62 received [ 307.376532] usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7 [ 307.552176] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=051d, idProduct=0002 [ 307.552184] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=2 [ 307.552190] usb 3-2: Product: Back-UPS 500 FW: 6.4.I USB FW: c1 [ 307.552194] usb 3-2: Manufacturer: American Power Conversion [ 307.552199] usb 3-2: SerialNumber: BB0309024776 [ 307.552309] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 307.931440] generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0006: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device [American Power Conversion Back-UPS 500 FW: 6.4.I USB FW: c1 ] on usb-:00:13.1-2/input0 and then the daemon apcupsd would send an email claiming ' `hostname` Communications with UPS restored ' and would send a similar message to all terminals. This was quite annoying; moreover, in older kernels, it would sometimes trigger a kernel oops (see bug 534579). So I had to deinstall apcupsd. Yesterday I decided to Google around, and I found that many people are having similar trouble with this same APC model and this specific version of apcupsd. See e.g. http://blog.bigsmoke.us/2009/08/09/apc-cs-500-cuase-usb-disruption http://old.nabble.com/client-communications-failure-td30468668.html One of those web pages tell that the problem does not happen with apcupsd 3.14.7 . And indeed I have compiled and installed it, and it works fine.
