Hi Greg,


2009/5/4 Greg <[email protected]>

  Hi guys,

  I installed Nut 2.4.1_4 on Ubuntu 9.04 and I have similar issues. If I run 
upsdrvctl start I get


2.4.1-2ubuntu4 you mean (the one that is available in the distro)?
have you tried to unplug and plug back the USB cord of the UPS? otherwise, try 
this and relaunch upsdrvctl or bcmxcp_usb

Sorry yes I installed the package from the distro. I have unplugged and plugged 
back in the UPS but get the same issue.

I am creating a new install of Ubuntu 9.04 and will test again. 


  ==============================

  Can't set POWERWARE USB configuration
  Unable to find POWERWARE UPS device on USB bus 

  Things to try:

   - Connect UPS device to USB bus

   - Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
     See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

  Fatal error: unusable configuration
  CLOSING

  ==============================

  I am unable to run /lib/nut/bcmxcp_usb -a PowerWare -u root as none of the 
files in /lib/nut appear as executable.

  Any thoughts?


I've just checked again, and all the files in /lib/nut are executable in a 
fresh jaunty install.
otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to run the driver nor get the above 
output!
so I found this strange, you should check again... it's probably the devices 
privileges mentioned above.
and this one is possibly due to a bug in the package.


we seem to face a completely different issue here than the one on the QNAP.
I'd first like to be sure that you're unit is working (or not) in jaunty before 
getting back to the QNAP.

I've just checked the code (which has been revamped), and the specific part 
seem similar (can't be 100% sure though). now, I'll have to add some more trace 
to get more visibility.
I'll probably ping you tomorrow to test the latest subversion trunk. ok with 
that method?

Yes that will be fine. I will be away from home the next 3 days but I will test 
when I return.

Thanks again for your help.


Arnaud
