Greetings Charles; Following the chapter 6, configuration notes, and having configured everything I had done previously in the repo built /etc/nut directory without any success previously, I found when trying:
/usr/local/ups/upsdvrctl start, It reported it couldn't open /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf So I copied what I had done before to that path by mv'ing them with mc. Then I checked the /etc/group and found I had already made myself a member of group ups, so I did a sudo chown -R gene:nut to the /usr/local/ups tree. Now an attempted upsdvrctl start, returns this: gene@coyote:/usr/local/ups/etc$ /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2) USB communication driver 0.32 Can't claim USB device [050d:0751]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted Driver failed to start (exit status=1) In /dev/ttyUSB0 is owned by root. /dev/usb/hiddev3, the last one, has a slow data marching out of it if I sudo cat /etc/dev/usb/hiddev3 This copy/pastes as a bunch of high bit set stuff, 30 seconds of it looks like: gene@coyote:/usr/local/ups/etc$ sudo cat /dev/usb/hiddev3 i�i�D�E�f�dh�x��B�i�D�E�f�dh�x��B�i�D�E� which would lead me to believe that is the relatively slow USP update that marches out as a repeat loop forever. But I have to be root to do it. So what is the next step here? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
