I have an older system which has a simple APC Back-UPS ES 500 connected via USB. I built nut 2.0.2 from source and am attempting to get it to work. I had to manually create the device links and I think it's ok because hidups is recognizing the UPS but any attempts to read data from it fail: [root@server bin]# ./hidups -D -D -D /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.13 (2.0.0) Warning: This is an experimental driver. Some features may not function correctly. debug level is '3' Detected APC Back-UPS ES 500 FW:801.e5.D USB FW:e5 on port /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 dstate_init: sock /var/state/ups/hidups-hiddev0 open on fd 5 Then I start upsd and it says: [root@server bin]# ./upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 0.44.1 Warning: Data for UPS [miami] is stale at startup And finally if I try to read data using upsc it fails: [root@server bin]# ./upsc miami@localhost Unable to get variable list - Receive timeout I also noticed that even with debugging hidups doesn't display anything other than what's above even after restart upsd and attempting to query the UPS with upsc. Any suggestions? -- Greg Gulik http://www.gulik.org/greg/ greg @ gulik.org
