I am in the process of migrating from running CentOS 4.8 (32-bit) to CentOS 5.4 (64-bit) on my AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1300 system (it is running CentOS 4.8 32-bit because the disk images are from a previous PIII system), and things are 'interesting' WRT how the Lava Computer mfg Inc Quattro-PCI card is being handled. lspci (on CentOS 4.8 32-bit) yields: 01:0a.0 Serial controller:

I have a Gamatronic Smart Compact 750. I have it connected to my linux machine via serial cable and am running nut 2.0.3. There is no interruption in power, but the ups is reporting OB (on battery). Is there a configuration option I am missing? The relevant ups.conf entry is: [Gamatronic] port = /dev/ttyS1 desc = "Home Gamatronic UPS" driver = genericups

Hi all, I hope this is possible. I have a server, with a network switch attached to the serial port, and I want to rescan the serial port (/dev/tty) to see if it picks it up? I'd prefer not to reboot the server if at all possible. dmesg reports ttyS0 as the active port: [root at zabackup01 ~]# dmesg |grep tty Bootdata ok (command line is ro root=/dev/System/root rhgb quiet xencons=tty6)

Hi list, on my previous (lenny or squeeze) machine, I had it up and running, but that machine and configs are gone - and on my new jessie machine (see device and config details below) I cannot start the driver: # /lib/nut/bestups -DDDDD -a Patriot_Pro_II_750 0.000000 debug level is '5' 0.000806 send_to_all: SETINFO device.type "ups" 0.000842 send_to_all:

Hi all I have a problem switch in our data centre, which is connected to a linux server via a serial cable. I know I can / could access the switch from my Windows PC back at the office, using hyperterm, but trying to access it using minicom just doesn't seem to work. I have changed the comms in minincom to use /dev/tty0 & the baud rate to 9600, yet I can't seem to connect with

I installed CentOS 6 on a Dell Optiplex 790 with a StarTech.com dual serial port card, and the serial ports aren't being recognized. According to dmesg, only the built-in serial port is being recognized: # dmesg | fgrep ttyS serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A And lspci -v doesn't show that any drivers are loaded for it:

The big update caused one of the rare re-starts on my mail server, so I saw the startup messages that I had forgotten about. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: [3424]: warning: python-dbus not installed.

I've got a big UPS from an italian manufacturer MSC elettronica which should be megatec protocol based. They distribute it with Upsilon2000, developed by Megatec, and with a cable listed on the megatec site: http://www.megatec.com.tw/FAQ.htm How do I know the M2505 cable is the one that should be used on my UPS instead of M2502 cable? UPS that use both these cables are TRUE RS232 UPS

Hello, I just discovered a strange bug with serial passthrough in xen 4.1 on Debian Wheezy. The Dom0 has a GSM modem connected to serial port. The serial port is passed through to a DomU with options 'irq = [ 4 ]' and 'ioports = [ '3f8-3ff ]'. This worked as expected on Debian Squeeze with Xen 4.0 and Linux kernel 2.6.32 (both for Dom0 and DomU). On Debian Wheezy with Xen

Hi, I have an HP R5500XR and a Compaq R3000XR that I would like to use with nut. I searched the compatibility lists and the mail list archives but couldn't find anything. They both have 9 pin serial ports. Can anyone give me any information about them, and if they are supported by nut? Thanks, Denny Fox

I am a 62 year old beginner in Ubuntu. Thanks for any help, guidance, suggestions on this problem! I have used commands like the following to be certain that I have an active com port: dmesg | grep ttyS rm com1 ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1 So I suspect the solution lies somewhere in WINE. If all else fails I will get a USB to SERIAL converter cable and try that. My wife has an Abbott Labs Freestyle

Hello, ? I'm trying to configure my system such that I have a TCP port listening which will send all data it receives to a serial port. ie:?? tcp/2112? -->? /dev/ttyS0 My goal would be to be able to: Use netcat to create the listen and redirect to a serial port: ? $ nc -l 2112 > /dev/ttyS0 Then in another window, run minicom at /dev/ttyS0 Then in a 3rd window, ? $ telnet localhost

I have used fetchmail/procmail/postfix/dovecot/kmail for some time on my mail server, and have set this up on three or four machines in the past. I'm now setting up a new server and having problems.

I have installed two 4-port serial cards (http://www.startech.com/ Product/ItemDetail.aspx?productid=PCI4S550&c=US) on a CentOS 4.4 system.

I have trouble in getting communication work with MGE Ellipse 500. I bought it second hand and I don't have the cable for it. How do I know if it's the Serial or USB model? The serial number of the unit is: 769B16015. I suspect it is the serial version as the label next to the RJ11 stands "com port", but I can't be 100% sure. MGE Ellipse serial cable pinout can be found
