Nut upsuser - Apr 2009 - HP T1000 UPS Upadet & help with using under knoppix

Hello all,

First the easy bit, using the info in these mailing lists in respect 
of HP T750 here is the info for the T1000:
Checking device (03F0/1F08) (003/006)
FCC no of 5WSUSA-33229-XP-E , suggest it is a tripplite

Added the T1000 info to tripplite-hid.c as described recompiled and 
works fine, thank you.

Which driver should I use if I want to connect via the serial port? I 
am using the usbhid-ups driver via usb at present.

Next, would anyone be prepared to help to get NUT to work under a re-
mastered knoppix 5.3.1 CD.?

I'll list what I have achieved so far.

Install knoppix to hdd ( install script standard with knoppix)
Installed headers, libusb++-dev, libgd2-apm-dev & libupsclient1, all 
OK.
Download nut-2.4.1.tar.gz, run config - make -make install
Everything works ok & can connect to T1000 !!!!!!

Repeat everything in the chroot re-master environment (removed header 
etc after compiling nut), everything OK and build re-master cd.
Boot from knoppix live cd and get these problems (on same PC as 
knoppix hdd install):
	Upsdrvctl  start 
After a few minutes I get an error of:
	Startup timer elapsed, continuing?..

At this stage I find that lsusb now locks up and upon further 
investigations I find that /dev/usb/hiddev0 has now been deleted 
(including the directory /dev/usb)

Re-boot is necessary.
Run lsusb & HP 1000 is found
Change permissions on /dev/usb to full read/write access & the same to 
/dev/usb/hiddev0
Tried:
./lib/nut/usbhid-ups -DDD -u root -a testups
I get a summary of:
=====================Checking device  (03F0/1F08) (003/003)
- Vendor ID: 03f0
-Product ID: 1f08
- Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard
-Product: T1000 INTL
-Serial No: 2CJ8etc
-Bus: 003
Trying to match device
Device matches
Failed to claim usb device: could not claim interface 0: Device or 
resource busy.
===============
/dev/usb directory deleted as well as file/dev/usb/hiddev0

Usb mouse still works but lsusb now locks up terminal not complete OS.
Searched the lists on "Failed to claim usb?" , found lots of info on 
this but nothing I could use, especially as it works from hdd install.
Although I boot from CD, I can of course change all the 
permissions/rights etc and I feel this is the first area I should look 
at.

Also tried the following after a google:
1 - Remove user root from my upsd.users
2 - ./usbhid-ups -u root -DD -a testups
Now get a slightly different:
etc etc....Device matches
failed to claim usb device: could not claim interface 0: Operation not 
permitted.
failed to detach kernel driver from USB device: could not deteach 
kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted
This repeated 5 times. But now /dev/usb/hiddev0 has not been deleted & 
lsusb runs and displays the UPS.
Howerver, if I run sudo ./usbhid-ups -u root -DD -a testups, I'm all 
locked up agagin as described above.

Final question, I have also tried nut-2.2.2.tar.gz, can the t750 & 
T1000 be added. The driver files look so different. Can this version of 
nut be patched?

Any ideas?

Regards,

Steve

Further update on the missimg graph images. I needed to update my 
script as follows ( in case it may help others):     cd 
/etc/eaf/nut/cgi-bin/    sudo thttpd -c '*.cgi'    sudo kdesu konqueror 
http://localhost/upsstats.cgi    sudo killall thttpdOriginally my 
script was:    sudo thttpd -C thttpd.cfgSorry, this was not a nut issue 
at all. My only excuse it that I was only guessing something was there 
at all. Viewing via konqueror.I am hoping this post will appear as an 
addition to original.Finally, working on getting it to work via the 
seial port.Regards,Steve
