Good
afternoon, I'm trying without much success to monitor a Tripp Lite OMNIVS1500XL using NUT. I checked the compatibility list and saw that this UPS is supported by tripplite_usb. The system is running Debian Stable, but I've downloaded NUT 2.0.3 and compiled from source since the packaged 2.0.1 doesn't include tripplite_usb. I compiled --with-user=nut. My first attempt at starting the driver with /usr/local/ups/bin/tripplite_usb auto gave "No matching USB/HID UPS found". I searched the list archives and found that -u root might help, and also that the kernel hid driver must not be allowed to claim the device. After doing "rmmod hid", "/usr/local/ups/bin/tripplite_usb -u root auto" gives one of the following, seemingly at random: ==== Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite OMNIVS and SMARTPRO driver 0.6 (2.0.3) Warning: This is an experimental driver. Some features may not function correctly. Detected a UPS: TRIPP LITE/TRIPP LITE OMNIVS1500XL Unknown protocol (2001)Attached to Tripp Lite OMNIVS1500XL Unknown value for s[2]: 0x34 Error reading 'D' value: Unknown error 0 Error reading 'M' value: Unknown error 0 Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite OMNIVS and SMARTPRO driver 0.6 (2.0.3) Warning: This is an experimental driver.

The rest of the errors seem to indicate a connection problem? I have two questions. First, am I right? Is this UPS not supported by tripplite_usb? If so, is there anything I can do to help update the compatibility list and/or add support for my UPS? If not, what else can I try to get it working? Second, what permissions should I set so that I don't need -u root? I've tried chgrp nut /dev/usb/hiddev*, but without -u root I still just get "No UPS found". Thanks, James |
