Hi, I have a Powerware 3105 UPS and am trying to get nut to work with it. The UPS communicates via a USB port.
I have SuSE 10.0 which comes with nut 2.02 which does not support this UPS so I downloaded nut-2.0.3-10.src.rpm from the 10.1 factory depository and compiled it without any problems. Where the problem arrises is the port configuration and permissions. lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04b8:0110 Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 1650 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0592:0002 Powerware Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 If I change the owner of /proc/bus/usb/002/006 to upsd:root I can get the bcmxcp_usb driver to load. The /etc/init.d/uspd script will not run because the port is defined as 'auto' as per the bcmxcp_usb man page Implemention. The script fails when testing for the port as there is no physical port defined in /etc/ups/ups.conf as stated above. The script I believe will only work with 'tty' devices where you have an actual port assigned, but USB ports appear to be configured differently. BTW I just checked the latest nut-2.0.3-13.src.rpm has the same problem with /etc/init.d/upsd script. How do I file a bug report as I'm using SuSE 10.0 but using the src.rpm from the current 10.1 factory repository. -- Regards, Graham Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
