Re: [Nut-upsuser] newhidups dies after a few hours

2006-05-23 Thread Arnaud Quette

Hi Nick,

2006/5/22, Nick Rosier [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

...
do you know the cause of these errors?
usb 1-1: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd newhidups rqt 128 rq 6 len
255 ret -110
usb 1-1: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd newhidups rqt 161 rq 1 len
8 ret -110

These messages pollute my messages-files; is this hardware/software?
A problem with the USB-interface of the MGE-UPS?
I'm running 2.0.3 with the fix for this bug and it's been running
flawlessly with the exception of all these messages.


the -110 error is a timeout.
what are your kernel and libusb versions? What the frequency of these messages?

I've not seen that kind of msg for long, but it was generally due to a
temporary deny of service from the UPS, ie it's currently running a
self test while the driver request the complete data tree...

Hello, 


Hello Ricardo,


I'm using NUT to manage a MGE Ellipse ASR UPS, with the newhidups


Same here except that i'm doing it through the serial link.


driver.
It works fine, except that after a few hours, I get a few errors from
the kernel and the driver dies.


I have some lost connections which usually last for about 3 seconds.



Here's the output from the syslog:
Apr 26 02:00:41 ezquiel kernel: usb 1-1: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed
cmd newhidups rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110

(newhidups-auto): Connection refused
Apr 26 02:00:49 ezquiel upsmon[4573]: Poll UPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed
- Driver not connected

I'm using a 2.6.16 kernel and NUT 2.0.3 (both are stock debian builds).

Anyone has any ideas about the problem?



Ok, so here is my guess:
IF you happen to have a too short power supply on that computer this 
can cause the problem. I have a rather too small P.S. on my system: it 
works correctly most of the time but gives me some quirks from time to 
time. The serial link is that little bit too much for it, maybe the USB 
is the same for you. If you can test that with another P.S. more 
powerfull...


The fact that your driver dies and not mine is probably due to the 
differences between USB and serial... Maybe.

Hello, 
no, the driver keeps dying on me. Looks like the same problem.
Thanks

 is the driver still alive? If not, this is related to this problem:

 I've already put the fix in the Testing tree, so that 2.0.4 will include it.

No, here the driver dies after the error and does not resume connection.

I'm just restarting NUT every 15 minutes, it does the trick.

Yes, the problem seems to be in the newhidups usb driver. 
Aranaud is on top of it already and the bug will be fixed soon. :)
