Hi List,
I just got myself a new everpower-1000va.
according to the compatibility list, the 'safenet' driver supposed to
support it,
however, when I try, I get this in syslog:
Jul 24 15:05:22 tv upsd[26458]: Can't connect to UPS [everpower1000]
(safenet-ttyS1): No such file or directory
this is my ups.conf:
[everpower1000]
driver = safenet
port = /dev/ttyS1
desc = "firefang.net"
I am using nut installed via apt on debian-etch.
any suggestions?
Omry.

Check that you have the /var/state/ups dirrectory, and that it is writable by the user you run nut as. What upsd is looking for is the socket named safenet-ttyS1. This should be created in /var/state/ups. This is how it looks on my computer running bcmxcp-usb driver. ls -al /var/state/ups/ totalt 8 drwxrwx--- 2 nut nut 144 24 jul 08.39 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 96 23 feb 15.52 .. srw-rw---- 1 nut nut 0 24 jul 08.39 bcmxcp_usb-auto -rw-r--r-- 1 nut nut 5 24 jul 08.39 bcmxcp_usb-auto.pid -rw-r--r-- 1 nut nut 5 24 jul 08.39 upsd.pid> > this is my ups.conf: > > > [everpower1000] > driver = safenet > port = /dev/ttyS1 > desc = "firefang.net" >Ok.

The hardware this driver is written for is usually OEM equipment and vendors tend to shop for the lowest bidder. So quite often they change the internals of the UPS, without changing the typenumber or even the box it is packaged in. If your UPS came with 'SafeNet v1.0' software for Windows (either in the box or via download) it should be supported by this driver. If something else is bundled, you'll have to continue your search as it probably won't be supported by this driver.> however, when I try, I get this in syslog: > > Jul 24 15:05:22 tv upsd[26458]: Can't connect to UPS [everpower1000](safenet-ttyS1): No such file or directory This usually means the safenet driver isn't running. You may want to run the driver from the commandline with '-DDDDD' added to make it more verbose. Chances are that it will be telling you why it can't be started. This can be as trivial as a serial port without the proper permissions. [...]> I am using nut installed via apt on debian-etch.This isn't very helpful for people not running Debian.

The device will only answer when a query or a command is sent. Regards, Arjen PS Keep the mailinglist CC-ed. I will not reply to private messages.
