Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
IMHO, a more robust approach would be to make sure that modemmanager is using locks, and having upsd wait a small amount of time for the lock before giving up (possibly as a configurable option). This mechanism would work across all packages that contend for the serial ports, rather than for us to have to deal with every single possible conflict individually. ** Changed in: nut (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - nut-server collides with modemmanager + nut-server fails if modemmanager is scanning serial ports -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nut in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176548 Title: nut-server fails if modemmanager is scanning serial ports To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nut/+bug/1176548/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
