Hi Vlado, your issue seems to be an issue of lower-level USB support. Not only does NUT fail to find your ups, but it fails to find *any* USB devices or controllers. Normal output from "newhidups -u root -DDDDD auto" should look like this:
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.1.0) debug level is '5' Checking device (0000/0000) (003/001) - VendorID: 0000 - ProductID: 0000 - Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 uhci_hcd - Product: UHCI Host Controller - Serial Number: 0000:00:1d.1 - Bus: 003 Trying to match device Device does not match - skipping Checking device (0000/0000) (002/001) - VendorID: 0000 - ProductID: 0000 - Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 uhci_hcd - Product: UHCI Host Controller - Serial Number: 0000:00:1d.0 - Bus: 002 Trying to match device Device does not match - skipping Checking device (04B3/310B) (002/002) - VendorID: 04b3 - ProductID: 310b - Manufacturer: unknown - Product: unknown - Serial Number: unknown - Bus: 002 Trying to match device Device does not match - skipping [...] No appropriate HID device found No matching USB/HID UPS found Perhaps you don't have libusb installed? Is "lsusb" showing anything on your system? -- Peter Vladimir Botka wrote: > > Hello, > > Help me please with *newhidups* setup.
