I installed NUT version 2.6.3-1ubuntu1.1 w/the client and server and the nut monitor. When I open the monitor, I get an error: error connecting to 'local host' ([Errno] connection refused). What can I do to get NUT to work? I can not tell if the NUT program is working or not. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit Installed NUT from the Synaptic Package Manager. My computer is a Systemax w/MSI motherboard K9N6GM series, 64bit. The UPS is a Tripplite AVR-550u connected to computer w/USB cable.

You'll need to follow the configuration information in the nut user pages here: http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html I would also do a google search for 'nut tripplite avr-550u' and see what kind of information you find, I would also search ubuntuforums.org for your UPS model. At a minimum, you need to configure hosts.conf, ups.conf and upsmon.conf - you should also understand what all the options do, as this will have a critical effect on how the UPS behaves when it loses mains power. Cheers, Greg

Do you have an entry for upsd in /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/dosts.deny ? Roger
Hi Gene, a first thank to Greg and Roger for the much appreciated help on the support queue... 2012/7/15 Gene Ulmer <gulmer at mcn.org>> I installed NUT version 2.6.3-1ubuntu1.1 w/the client and server and the > nut monitor.

There are some documentation, more Debian / Ubuntu focused, that may help you: http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html A note on USB device permissions: you need to have udev rules refreshed. Depending on your system and package versions, you may have to issue: * sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --action=change and to unplug/replug your UPS USB cord. Then start nut using "service nut start". Before trying with NUT-Monitor, prefer using "upsc <devname>" with devname from ups.conf cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix / Opensource Engineering Expert - Eaton - http://opensource.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.fr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
