Package: nut-client Version: 2.8.3-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hello, I am testing nut with an APC Back-UPS BX750MI . I am testing the version from Debian experimental, due to the [issues] with my UPS model (which are claimed to be fixed in upstream version 2.8.3). [issues]: <https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/2347> I have set: MODE=standalone in /etc/nut/nut.conf [bxups] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto lbrb_log_delay_sec = 3 lbrb_log_delay_without_calibrating onlinedischarge_calibration pollonly desc = "APC Back-UPS BX" in /etc/nut/ups.conf NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG LOWBATT SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG FSD SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG COMMBAD SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG SHUTDOWN SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG REPLBATT SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOCOMM SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOPARENT SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG CAL SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOTCAL SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG OFF SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOTOFF SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG BYPASS SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOTBYPASS SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG ECO SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOTECO SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG ALARM SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOTALARM SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG OTHER SYSLOG+WALL NOTIFYFLAG NOTOTHER SYSLOG+WALL in /etc/nut/upsmon.conf Well, the UPS is detected and seems to work, I get data from $ upsc bxups and from $ upslog -l - -s bxups When I pull the plug (or cause other UPS-related events), I see the notifications in /var/log/syslog, but wall fails to generate messages visible to all users. At least, I don't see them on my xterm terminal emulators. I read in /usr/share/doc/bsdutils/NEWS.Debian.gz : util-linux (2.40.2-11) unstable; urgency=medium * The mesg(1) and write(1) programs are no longer provided. It is believed chatting between users is nowadays done using more secure facilities. * Please check your /root/.profile if it executes mesg(1), and if so, remove that (or guard it). -- Chris Hofstaedtler <[email protected]> Wed, 13 Nov 2024 12:58:06 +0100 [...] Is wall still usable? I don't see any message sent to the terminal emulators, even if I run # wall ciao with root privileges... Should this be documented somehow? Any alternative mechanism to warn the users that the system is running on battery, that a shutdown could happen soon, and so forth? On a desktop, I can try with the nut-monitor GUI, perhaps. But on a server, with several users logged through SSH?!? -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.16.3+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages nut-client depends on: ii adduser 3.152 ii init-system-helpers 1.69 ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libgcc-s1 15.2.0-1 ii libnutscan3 2.8.3-2 ii libstdc++6 15.2.0-1 ii libsystemd0 258~rc3-1 ii libupsclient7 2.8.3-2 Versions of packages nut-client recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.16.0-7 Versions of packages nut-client suggests: pn nut-monitor <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/nut/nut.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/nut/nut.conf' /etc/nut/upsmon.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/nut/upsmon.conf' /etc/nut/upssched.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/nut/upssched.conf' -- no debconf information
