Nut upsuser - Nov 2006 - (no subject)

I have installed the NUT 2.0.3 RPM for Fedora Core 4 and I have it working
with an MGE Pulsar Evolution 500, but I cannot get the USB interface to
work.

When I plug in the USB cable I get the following message in my system log:

kernel: usbhid: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike

If you want to use USB with NUT, you need to install the latest
development version. The newhidups driver is very much 'work in
progress' and a lot of problems from earlier versions have been fixed by
now. Having said that, your UPS should be supported through the USB port
then.

Kind regards, Arjen

actually, this part is normal. The device is blacklisted from the
kernel usbhid driver so that it can be claimed in userspace by
newhidups.

Did you see any error messages from the driver or other NUT components?
