I Seem to have made some progress in getting nut-2.0.5 installed, but hidups still has a version number of 0.13. First is hidups 0.13 the correct version? if not how do I find the correct version. Second if my Geek Squad GS1285U UPS is not supported how do I proceed. I have been a programmer for 35 years(mostly high level computer aided design), written code in 20 some languages, am retired

We are interested in using Nut on our Federa 6.0 servers. However, our UPS systems are sold under the name "Geek Squad" (sold through the Best Buy chain of department stores). I'm pretty certain Geek Squad does not manufacture these units and they just rebrand them. Does anyone know who makes these units or what they are compatible with in terms of driver level protocol? The ones we

This took a long time because I had problems with my system. After I reloaded my operating system several times I found I had a bad memory module. Here is the output from newhidups for my Geek Squad GS1285U. It just kept repeating until I hit ctl-z. I think that this means nut will work for this ups. My computer is not powered by the ups yet. I did not want it to be powered down by accident.

Nut will monitor the ups and shutdown Linux when the ups goes to low battery as it should. But the UPS is not shut down so the system will restart when the power is restored. If I switch the UPS off , restore power and switch the UPS on the system will restart. I have not been able to get nut to switch the UPS off after it brings the system down. I can get the UPS to switch off with upscmd

Hello all, Has anyone had any luck getting a CPS GS 1500U working with NUT via USB. Its branded Geek Squad (don't ask) but it shows up in the USB device list as the CPS 1500U. I'm running Kubuntu Dapper with all current updates installed, Kernel 2.6.15-26-686, NUT 2.0.3. I've tried hidups and newhidups. With hidups I used port=/dev/bus/usb/001/004 which I'm sure is the UPS

Good afternoon, I am trying to communicate with a new Tripp-Lite UPS via usb and having little luck. After more than a week on this I've decided to ask for help. I am very inexperienced at posting information to message boards, so hopefully I'm doing this right. I assume this is the correct place to post this message. I will start with the equipment I have. I am using Debian Sarge

Hi, I'm new to nut, just installed it.

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

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

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:

is there a way to override the productid (like -x productid=1234) when using newhidups? just thought i'd try it with the F6C1500-TW-RK over usb. i was able to get hidups to work using the below settings, but it provides limited information. my ups.conf entry: [belkin] driver = hidups port = /dev/usb/hiddev0 and the output of upsc: gateway:/etc/nut# upsc

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

Another update! It works. The systems shuts down properly when power is lost. Almost. "upsdrvctl shutdown" disconnects my UPS from the mains. From everything I've read in the documentation this should turn off the output of the UPS, not the input. Am I right here? I'm still having the following problem. Any help is appreciated. >> Also - I get the following every 4

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
