similar to: APC CyberFort 350 problems with newhidups

Well, after our first real extended power outage, I found out that even though the UPS 1000 RM is recognized okay, it does not work properly. It never seems to see any change in UPS status. It looks very similar to the other issue I reported with the APC CyberFort 350. I never was able to get to the bottom of the CyberFort issue, but I'll bet it's the same issue as we have with the

Peter, if you're back, I was wondering if you might have a chance to look into the issues I reported last month. I'm back to using hidups right now, but I would prefer to use a current, maintained driver. Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to nut, just installed it. I configured it using the hidups driver to work with my APC BackUPS: # upsc apc350@localhost battery.charge: 100 battery.runtime: 885 battery.voltage: 13.5 driver.name: hidups driver.parameter.port: /dev/usb/hiddev0 driver.version: 2.0.0 ups.delay.shutdown: -1 ups.delay.start: 0 ups.load: 660 ups.mfr: American Power Conversion ups.model: Back-UPS CS 350

I just installed NUT and my UPS is an APC Back-UPS ES 500. I looked in the list of drivers and found APC Back-UPS ES 350 listed in "drivers.txt" -- that list said I should use either the newhidups or hidups driver. I looked in the installation and I found headers and c files to create these drivers (I think), but in /usr/local/ups/bin there is no driver named, "newhidups or

Hi there, I'm one of the maintainers of the SME Server distro (www.contribs.org) and we've been chasing this one for some time: http://www.contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=352 http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2006-January/000543.html Many thanks to Peter Selinger and everyone else who helped with the debugging and patches. Thanks, Gordon

Hi, All! I've recently bought an UPS. It is Krauler UP-M500VA, it has USB port and is a HID device. But as I discovered the only HID application it supports is 0x860004, so it isn't claimed by both hidups and newhidups drivers, because it uses a vendor-specific values. I tried to discover values in that x86 page, but I failed. How can I do it? And after I get values how to understand

Greetings, I'm new to the list, and didn't find an archive, so please bear with me: I have a new APC Back-UPS XS 1200 model BX1200. The USB cable attaches with an RJ-45 on the UPS side. I'm using the hidups driver, and the default log format gives me lines like this: 20060317 041353 100 NA 0 [OL] NA NA 20060317 041454 100 NA 0 [OL] NA NA Can I do better than that with (a

Hi there, I'm trying to track down a problem with said combination. Broadcast message from nut (Thu Jan 26 13:22:06 2006): Communications with UPS UPS@localhost lost Broadcast message from nut (Thu Jan 26 13:22:11 2006): UPS UPS@localhost is unavailable "newhidups -DDD hiddev0" seems happy enough, as does "upsd -DDD -f" - at least until I start upsmon. Then I

Hi! I've got a Mandrake 2006.0 machine and a APC Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500 (from lsusb). The Mandrake package version of nut is 2.0.1 and hidups actually detects the UPS, however I get loads of these: Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Ignoring x86 page event 0xff860080 (0) Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Unhandled event: 0x840058 (6) Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Unhandled

Hi, Can't get newhidups (2.0.5) or usbhid-ups (SVN trunk) to work 2.0.5 hidups seems to work, but I was hoping for more information... like temperature, etc. Tried newhidups and usbhid-ups, but they don't seem to detect my UPS... should I switch back to serial? Will I get more information? (trying not to move back to apcupsd, since i have a mixed environment) Here is some debug

I'd like to submit a patch to the 'hidups' driver. I'm a bit new to open-source development model, so I hope I'm not committing a faux paus by just posting it here. I did verify that the problem still exists (by source code inspection) in the latest dev snapshot, which is nut-2.0.3-pre2. I'm using nut-2.0.2 myself. The problem is when I'm connecting to my APC

I am forwarding the below message. Does anybody on this list know anything about this problem? Petr - perhaps you should switch from the "hidups" to the "newhidups" driver. I believe it supported the APC Back UPS even in NUT 2.0.2, and it certainly does so in the Development version that you can get from CVS (see the NUT download page). Also, could you post the output of

Hi, I got a Belkin F6C550-AVR UPS today and was trying to get it working with NUT, I used the "hidups" driver and got some data out of it, mainly the following: battery.charge: 100 battery.runtime: 120 driver.name: hidups driver.parameter.port: /dev/usb/hiddev0 driver.version: 2.0.0 ups.mfr: Unknown ups.model: Unknown ups.serial: Unknown ups.status: OL the versions of NUT that I tried

Hello, I have encountered problems trying to set up nut to work with APC BackUps Pro CS connected over USB to an AMD64 machine running Debian. While apcupsd works fine with that device, whenever I start upsd I get the following messages in syslog: hidups[23159]: Startup successful upsd[23160]: Connected to UPS [apc1]: hidups-hiddev0 upsd[23161]: Startup successful hidups[23159]: Unhandled event:

I'm using an APC Back-UPS XS with nut 2.0.3. I've recompiled/reinstalled the source, and switched over to the newhidups driver (instead of the old hidups driver). I modified by ups.conf to use newhidups. The hotplug files were not automatically installed, I had to copy those from the scripts directory to my hotplug/usb directory. The newhidups driver loads find and then works for a

Hello, I'm using the stable amd64 port of Debian Linux. I installed (the latest) nut-2.0.1-4 and nut-usb packages for utilizing an APC Smart-UPS 1500 USB. I tried "apcupsd" first but "nut" makes an even more sophisticated impression on me and has more security options. I had problems with the newhidups driver. It didn't find a device with matching VendorID. And

Thomas, The none (-22) message in your log is an errno from the libusb_get_interrupt() call in HIDGetEvents() in libhid.c. It indicates an invalid ioctl type. In HIDGetEvents() there is a comment with that call: /* needs libusb-0.1.8 to work => use ifdef and autoconf */ You may want to make sure your libusb is up-to-date. Hope this helps, AG --
