Well, I have good news and bad news. I have a Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS attached to a Linux server running Ubuntu 5.10, and I'm running the just-released nut 2.0.3.
I had error -71 from the UPS, which Charles Lepple correctly called out as a likely cable problem (thank you, Charles.) The cable provided with the UPS by Tripp Lite was just plain bad. Not too long, mind you- defective. I won't bore you with the steps I used to prove it- but trust me, I proved it, positively. So the uhci_hcd module now loads peacefully. lsusb spots the ups. The vendor id is 09ae, product id 0001- correct. And starting tripplite_usb as root, port auto, says: Detected a UPS: TRIPP LITE/TRIPP LITE SMART1050SLT HOWEVER... then there are a splash of "unknown" messages, of which the killer is: Unknown protocol (3004) attached to Tripp Lite SMART1050SLT Uh-oh. 3004 is new. tripplite_usb only speaks 3003. Yes, Tripp Lite has a shiny new undocumented protocol, folks. It is probably based on 3003- but who knows? One step forward, two steps back. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
