Dear List, I'm running NUT 2.4.1 on openSUSE 11.3 64 bits, kernel 2.6.34. The UPS is an Eaton Ellipse ASR 1500 USBS. With driver usbhid-ups NUT works perfectly _until_ I turn off IPv6.
By default IPv6 is turned on in openSUSE 11.3. I visited YaST -> Network Settings -> Global options and deselected "Enable IPv6". I then restarted the box. When I entered the command "rcupsd start" to start NUT, I received the reply: Starting NUT UPS drivers ....done Starting NUT UPS server startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/upsd: 1 ....failed File /var/log/messages tails with Nov 7 09:53:57 glacon usbhid-ups[4974]: Startup successful Nov 7 09:53:57 glacon upsd[4977]: listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 Nov 7 09:53:57 glacon upsd[4977]: not listening on ::1 port 3493 Nov 7 09:53:59 glacon usbhid-ups[4974]: Signal 15: exiting The fix for this problem is to turn IPv6 on again, but I wondered if there was a way of specifying to NUT "no IPv6". By the way, why is NUT sensitive to IPv6 operation?
