Nut upsuser - Aug 2011 - nut 2.6.1 on OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana doesn't find Tripp-Lite ECO550 UPS

Hello,

1) On OpenIndiana 151, I configured nut 2.6.1 as

configure --prefix=/opt/nut/2.6.1 --with-cgi --with-hal 
--with-user=ups --with-group=nut CC=cc

The result is

-e Configuration summary:
=====================build serial drivers: yes
build USB drivers: yes
build SNMP drivers: yes
build neon based XML driver: yes
build Powerman PDU client driver: no
enable SSL development code: yes
enable libwrap (tcp-wrappers) support: yes
build CGI programs: yes
enable HAL support: yes
build and install documentation: no
build and install the development files: no


2) After installation, I did

mkdir -p /var/state/ups
chmod 0770 /var/state/ups
chown root:nut /var/state/ups


3) My /opt/nut/2.6.1/etc/ups.conf file has

...

[eco550]
	driver = usbhid-ups
	port = auto
	desc = "wiley's ups"


4) I verify that the UPS is connected to the USB port:


/usr/sbin/cfgadm -v

...

usb5/2  connected    configured   ok   Mfg: Tripp Lite 
Product: TRIPP LITE UPS   NConfigs: 1  Config: 0  <no cfg 
str descr>


5) Nevertheless, NUT doesn't discover the UPS:

Thanks in advance for any help.

If this part of the log hasn't been trimmed, that means that libusb is not
seeing your UPS. Which version of libusb do you have?

IIRC, there is a test app in the libusb-0.1 distribution that prints information
from a libusb bus scan (which may be slightly different from what the kernel
sees). Can you try compiling and running that? Let us know if you run into
trouble finding it.

Hmm, I'm not familiar with the name 'usba' - is that the name of a  
specific USB bus in OpenSolaris?

Might be good to run that libusb test program. Here it is in CVS:
