Hi Charles; I hope this finds you well. Here is dmesg output: gene@coyote:~$ dmesg |grep Belkin [ 3.315667] usb 2-3: Product: Belkin UPS [ 3.315669] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: Belkin [ 4.084258] generic-usb 0003:050D:0751.0009: hiddev0,hidraw4: USB HID v1.11 Device [Belkin Belkin UPS] on usb-0000:00:02.0-3/input
I have configured it to use this generic-usb, and probably made it less secure by adding myself to /etc/group/nut and changing many of the perms to 0660 or 0664 so I can edit this stuff as me. Those of course are fixable later if needed. But I use dd-wrt here, and no one has ever succeeded in getting past it to do anything but look and dl from my web page (in sig) Then I setup some defaults as I can sort of recall them from previous setups. Stepping into /etc/init.d and doing this, isn't getting me there according to the response: gene@coyote:/etc/init.d$ sudo ./nut-server restart [ ok ] Restarting NUT - power devices information server and drivers: upsd (driver(s) failed) (driver(s) failed). upsd. However: gene@coyote:/etc/init.d$ ps axu|grep nut nut 31366 0.0 0.0 2256 524 ? Ss 14:01 0:00 /sbin/upsd gene 31740 0.0 0.0 3488 764 pts/6 S+ 14:09 0:00 grep nut says upsd is running. From that I get that generic-usb is the wrong driver. I tried to use usbview to determine the correct driver, but it says none of the stuff it needs is compiled into this 3.4-9-amd64 kernel. So how to I best proceed thru this cornfield maze of getting a functional install? Thanks Charles.
