Well, I have unfortunately uplugged the usb cord. Now I am not able to start the drivers again. When I plug in the usb cord I get : Aug 5 16:23:33 localhost kernel: usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using address 6 Aug 5 16:23:34 localhost kernel: usbhid: probe of 3-2:1.0 failed with error -5 When I start the nut driver using upsdrvctl start, I get : Aug 5 16:24:05 localhost upsdrvctl: Can't claim USB device [0463:ffff]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted Aug 5 16:24:05 localhost upsdrvctl: Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.1) Aug 5 16:24:05 localhost upsdrvctl: USB communication driver 0.31 Aug 5 16:24:05 localhost upsdrvctl: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1 Aug 5 16:24:05 localhost upsdrvctl: Driver failed to start (exit status=1) I gess there are some conflicts somewhere. What is really wierd is that I get the same messages after reboot or reinstallation of the rpms. Any idea?

It seems functional. nice Is there something to do in order to verify the health of the whole chain? (upsmon -> upsd -> upsdrv) yep, unplug the UPS' power cord, and check that upsc has an ups.status = OB One last question, after installing the rpms, /var/state/ups is not created and the rights are not given like it should. I was suprised to see that this was not ntegrated in RHEL5 rpms... Is there some restriction to integrate that configuration? most modern distro have a volatile /var fs. For example, on Debian, the init.d script create these dirs at launch time... cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ _____ De : Arnaud Quette [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : lundi 3 août 2009 21:46 À : Antoine Gatineau Cc : nut-upsuser Objet : Re: [Nut-upsuser] Usbhip-ups going wild 2009/8/3 Antoine Gatineau <[email protected]> I tried to recompile without xorg-x11-devel and I get this error : configure: error: libgd not found, required for CGI build. It is indeed required for nut-cgi udev-devel, however, is not required. yup, you got me wrong: only the dbus-glib as to be removed. xorg-devel (or xpm-devel) is needed for nut-cgi Anyway I made it build correctly. I attached nut.spec (modified for RHEL4) and nut.spec.ori (original spec file for RHEL5) for info. There were no %files entry for libhidups, libhid.usermap these 2 are for hotplug. if you use udev, you don't need these. and 20-ups-nut-device.fdi this file is for HAL. so not needed too. in the original spec file, so I added them. I'm not an rpm building expert but I wonder how it could work... I also removed hal, powerman and netxml-ups man page and related files as they are not used in this package. I didn't test it running yet but I expect it to be OK. I'll come back to you with results. BTW, in the first answer to this (too?) long thread, Arjen said that there were lot of bug fixes and performance improvement done since nut-2.2.0. Is there a bug tracker to seek if my issues will be solved with this new one? to be short: ChangeLog cheers Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
