hi list, im running debian/testing(act. squeeze) with 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel. first tried apcupsd what flawlessly worked but because i run nagios (needs nut running for 'check_ups'), im trying to run nut.
dmesg and syslog show the device: Jul 27 00:08:06 kate kernel: [16001.477941] hiddev96hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [APC Back-UPS ES 700 FW:829.D3 .I USB FW:D3 ] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1 Jul 27 00:08:06 kate kernel: [16001.477941] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=051d, idProduct=0002 Jul 27 00:08:06 kate kernel: [16001.477941] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=2 Jul 27 00:08:06 kate kernel: [16001.477941] usb 3-1: Product: Back-UPS ES 700 FW:829.D3 .I USB FW:D3 Jul 27 00:08:06 kate kernel: [16001.477941] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: APC Jul 27 00:08:06 kate kernel: [16001.477941] usb 3-1: SerialNumber: 3B0908X39177 lsusb doesnt show it. (maybe because usb is statically compiled in?) kate:/# grep -w CONFIG_USB /boot/config-`uname -r` CONFIG_USB=y but the hiddevice is there kate:/# ls -la /dev/hid* crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 180, 96 27. Jul 00:08 /dev/hiddev0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 250, 0 27. Jul 00:08 /dev/hidraw0 tried using usbhid-ups driver and even with setting the option variable "cable" to "940-0127E" i had no luck. genericups with all possible upstypes doesnt work either. any ideas? chris -- Christoph Loesch - http://Loesch.me OpenSource IT-Concepts & Services _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
