afternoon,<br>
<br>
I'm trying without much success to monitor a Tripp Lite OMNIVS1500XL
using NUT. I checked the compatibility list and saw that this UPS is
supported by tripplite_usb.<br>
<br>
The system is running Debian Stable, but I've downloaded NUT 2.0.3 and
compiled from source since the packaged 2.0.1 doesn't include
tripplite_usb.<br>
<br>
I compiled --with-user=nut.<br>
<br>
My first attempt at starting the driver with
/usr/local/ups/bin/tripplite_usb auto gave "No matching USB/HID UPS
found". I searched the list archives and found that -u root might
help, and also that the kernel hid driver must not be allowed to claim
the device. After doing "rmmod hid", "/usr/local/ups/bin/tripplite_usb
-u root auto" gives one of the following, seemingly at random:<br>
<br>

<br>
I've checked the list archives, and it seems that the unknown protocol
part means that my UPS is using a protocol that hasn't yet been seen by
the developers. The rest of the errors seem to indicate a connection
problem?<br>
<br>
I have two questions.<br>
<br>
First, am I right? Is this UPS not supported by tripplite_usb? If so,
is there anything I can do to help update the compatibility list and/or
add support for my UPS? If not, what else can I try to get it working?<br>
<br>
Second, what permissions should I set so that I don't need -u root?
I've tried chgrp nut /dev/usb/hiddev*, but without -u root I still just
get "No UPS found".<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
