Not sure if there is a backport of NUT 2.7.2 to 12.04, but it might be worth look...

...'m seeing the same issue if I run usbhid-ups as root. I've also explicitly given the 'ups' user that I'm running NUT as permissions to the UPS device via udev. For reconnections at startup, we have the following options: http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html#_global_directives We might want to consider applying a similar delay to the auto-reconnect code in the drivers. Does `dmesg` show any USB messages around the time of the "No such file or directory" errors? This seems like a similar set of symptoms: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut....

Hi, I have a NUT client that requires the UPS it monitors to be named "ups". The client (a Synology NAS) does not provide a method to change this configuration. My setup consists of multiple UPSes monitored by a single master and I'd rather not have 1/4 UPSes named `ups` while the other 3/4 are named something descriptive and helpful for administration. I think I should be able

Hi List, I recently picked up a Tripp Lite SMART1500LCDT while they were on sale to pair with my home server, and have tried getting it set up with NUT, since it seems to be supported. I can get the whole NUT stack up and running, but the driver seems to only stay up for a couple minutes before crashing out. I've uploaded the level 6 debug output of the driver (with my serial number

Hi Charles, thank you VERY MUCH for all your hints. > If you have a jumper wire handy, you can connect the PC's TxD to RxD I should have tried to connect from another computer in the first place. Or access another device known to work from this computer. It turned out that the shield I used to connect the mainboard connector to the PC case expected another mainboard pin layout. So all I
