Hi Gene, a first thank to Greg and Roger for the much appreciated help on the support queue...
2012/7/15 Gene Ulmer <[email protected]> > I installed NUT version 2.6.3-1ubuntu1.1 w/the client and server and the > nut monitor. When I open the monitor, I get an error: error connecting to > 'local host' ([Errno] connection refused). What can I do to get NUT to > work? I can not tell if the NUT program is working or not. > I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit > Installed NUT from the Synaptic Package Manager. > My computer is a Systemax w/MSI motherboard K9N6GM series, 64bit. > The UPS is a Tripplite AVR-550u connected to computer w/USB cable. > first, this unit is known to work for more than 2 years. next, as mentioned by Greg, is NUT configured? the basic files needed for standalone protection are nut.conf, ups.conf, upsd.{conf,users} and upsmon.conf hosts.conf is for CGI operations... There are some documentation, more Debian / Ubuntu focused, that may help you: http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html A note on USB device permissions: you need to have udev rules refreshed. Depending on your system and package versions, you may have to issue: * sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --action=change and to unplug/replug your UPS USB cord. Then start nut using "service nut start". Before trying with NUT-Monitor, prefer using "upsc <devname>" with devname from ups.conf cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix / Opensource Engineering Expert - Eaton - http://opensource.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.fr
