<p class=MsoNormal>I’m a linux newbie and having some trouble with NUT,
can anyone assist? I’ve read the FAQ and various articles online by
Peter Sellinger and others thoroughly. OS is ClarkConnect 4.2, which is
based on CentOS4/RHEL 4. UPS is an APC SmartUPS 1500 (USB). Correct
driver is believed to be usbhid-ups. No RPM for my OS was available
past 2.0, so I built from source using NUT 2.2. I think this all worked
OK, did not see anything suspicious. (But again, compiling on linux is
also new to me.) PC is a pretty generic ASUS motherboard with an AMD
X2 proc and nVidia chipset (MCP55 USB). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The setup had some USB issues causing initial
confusion. I’m running a workaround to get EHCI and OHCI loaded
instead of UHCI; USB appears fine now, although I am not successful using
hotplug. CC does not use udev and thus I presume should be using “old-style”
hotplug scripts. The scripts look fine but I can never get the files to
show as owned by “ups” as described. However, –u root workaround
seems OK. Concluded this was not a core issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I run:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>upsdrvctl -u root start upsserver<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>all looks OK on results:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.0-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core
0.30 (2.2.0-)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Detected a UPS: American Power Conversion/Smart-UPS 1500 RM
FW:617.3.D USB FW:8.1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Using subdriver: APC/CyberPower HID 0.9<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>But when I run:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>upsd –u root<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I get:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Network UPS Tools upsd 2.2.0-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>not listening on 192.168.0.20 port 3493<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>That’s the correct IP for the local machine; same
results if I use localhost instead. Of course, upsc and upsmon are also
unsuccessful. It feels like I’m allllllllmost there. Any
ideas for me? Thanks group!<o:p></o:p></p>
