similar to: hidups Vs newhidups (was: SUSE 10.0 packaging)

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

Hello, I try to install my APC Back-UPS RS 800 on my debian system (Etch): Linux aigner 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 4 16:41:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux When i try to start the driver an i use hidups i get this failure massage: aigner:/lib/nut# upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.4 Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.13 (2.0.4) Warning: This is an experimental driver.

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

Greetings Arnaud and others, I've been using NUT with Gentoo Linux for a couple of years now. I recently installed SUSE Linux 10.0 and I'm having difficulty getting it to recognize my UPS (MGE Ellipse). I tried the MGE-PSP package, but the GUI crashes immediately on startup. I decided to get just NUT running correctly before worrying about that. I uninstalled MGE-PSP and am left wtih

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'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

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

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 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

Hello, For a while I have been running NUT 2.0.0 just fine with my APC Back-UPS RS 800 using the usbhid interface. I decided to upgrade to 2.0.2, and all went well (upsc and upsd/upsmon seem happy to talk to the UPS), but I am getting a ton of these messages in my syslog: Jul 6 17:12:45 yggdrasil kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 780 Jul 6 17:12:50 yggdrasil kernel:

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

Hi, is there a way to use my Belkin F6H650 on the USB port? I already installed usbhid-support, but neither the hidups worked (reports "/dev/usb/hiddev0 is not a UPS") nor genericups with upstype=7 and the hiddev set as device ("ioctl TIOCMSET: Invalid argument") worked. I have installed the debian sarge package of nut 2.0.1 (2.0.1-4) Regards, Philipp

This thread is FYI. I don't need any help here. I have SUSE 10.0 and an MGE Ellipse. I installed the NUT package from MGE. 1) The generated ups.conf pointed to a bad location: /dev//dev/input/event0 2) The hidups driver will not work with SUSE 10 out of the box. To make it work (which was academic because I prefer newhidups), I had to: a) Customize the kernel to exclude

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

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

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!

Hello, I have been trying to get a TrippLite Internet Office 750 UPS to talk to my Linux PBX for a couple of evenings now and I'm getting nowhere... I tried searching the list archives before posting here (I'm sure I'm not the first one to try to get this going) but they seem to be offline... The UPS is unfortunately USB based but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Here is
