Re: [Nut-upsuser] APC Question...
2007/1/12, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Greetings:
I've been following through the instructions on how to connect an APC
BackUPS 650 ES to USB, and have it monitored with NUT...
I know my system can SEE the UPS, as DMESG shows this:
hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [APC Back-UPS ES 650 FW:818.w1.D USB FW:w1]
on usb-:00:04.2-1
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver
I can see an entry in /dev/usb called hiddev0
I have updated my ups.conf file as follows:
[apc]
driver = newhidups
port = /dev/usb/hiddev0
desc = APC Back-UPS ES 650
Note, that port used to be set to auto, but in deperation, I hardcoded it..
I'm running kernel version 2.6.17.3, and have libusb-0.1.so.4.4.0
libraries installed.
I cannot see anything in /proc/bus/usb.
depending upon your system, this might sit in /dev/bus/usb
just check, using the mount command that you have something like:
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
When I try to run newhidups, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4# ./drivers/newhidups -a apc -u root
/dev/usb/hiddev0
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4)
No matching USB/HID UPS found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4# ./drivers/newhidups -a apc -u root
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4)
No matching USB/HID UPS found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4#
Can anyone suggest a course of action I can take?..
this should be due to the fact that you have not set the hotplug or udev rules.
check the nut/scripts/hotplug*/README for more information.
These scripts are there to set the right permissions on the dev file
upon {cold,hot}plugging.
finally note that newhidups is the way to go since it will fully
replace hidups by nut 2.2

I'm running kernel version 2.6.17.3, and have libusb-0.1.so.4.4.0 libraries installed. FWIW we have found our 2.6.17 systems to be unstable when connected to APC SmartUPS boxes over USB. The same combinations are quite happy to run with USB-serial dongles and apcsmart -a ttyUSB0. We haven't had time to investigate...

Re: [Nut-upsuser] APC Question...
Hi Richard, This is bizarre. Using -DD, you should get more output between debug level is '2' and No appropriate HID device found. You should at least get something like: debug level is '2' Checking device (/) (005/001) - VendorID: - ProductID: - Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 uhci_hcd - Product: UHCI Host Controller - Serial Number: :00:1d.3 - Bus: 005 Trying to match device Device does not match - skipping It looks like in your setup, newhidups (and therefore libusb) is seeing no USB devices at all, never mind your UPS. Could you refresh my memory about your operating system, kernel version, libusb version, and contents of ls -lR /proc/bus/usb? Perhaps you need to mount your USB filesystem. Does mount show a line such as the following? usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) If not, try mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb -- Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Solution is to upgrade to nut-2.0.5-pre2. right, I've missed that one. thanks Arjen. btw, the final 2.0.5 will be out either this afternoon, or on monday.

Does mount show a line such as the following? usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) Hiya! This did the trick!! USBFS is not something I'm familiar with, or have ever used, but as soon as I mounted that directory, the UPS was found by newhidups, and I received all kinds of output from it, so I think that is the problem.. Thanks everyone for their assistance in solving this problem...
