If you take NUT and XFCE power manager out of the equation, but the UPS still generates a lot of disconnect/timeout/reconnect traffic in the kernel logs, you might be up against this issue. Full gory details here: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/122
This particular new unit came with its own USB cable, and this unit is plugged into a relatively old server. The motherboard is about ten years old.
I have a lot of noise in my syslog. grepping for 'usb' or '3016' doesn't find anything useful.
I've getting better results with the last patch from issue 414, which fixes the bad error handling that was causing the driver to bail out. The driver still yells about EAGAIN/EIO, once every four minutes or so:
ioctl(10, USBDEVFS_REAPURBNDELAY, 0x7ffd4d210fe0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) sendto(3, "<31>Apr 1 12:46:10 usbhid-ups[4983]: libusb_get_report: Input/output error", 75, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 75
but with the patch it recovers and keeps running. With the last patch from 414, the driver has now been running for over 24 hours, just quietly barking about these timeouts, and reconnects, to anyone who'd listen.
I am open to suggestions for grep food, but I can't find anything in my syslog that looks like a kernel complaint about actual USB connectivity.
My weekend project is to build the patched libusb-1.0 branch, and see what happens there.
