[Nut-upsdev] Segfault in Tripplite_usb driver when UPS on battery

[Bradley Feldman]

Charles:

Ok, I followed your instructions and rebuilt the RPM, then upgraded it on my
system.  I'll keep you posted as to whether the problem comes up again.

Thanks very much for your help,

*Bradley

I still have the unit in question; however, since the segfault happened
inside libc, I won't be able to reproduce it easily here.

Just to be sure, this is the same NUT 2.2.2 (from Fedora Core 9 RPMs) that
you mentioned in the last email?

Also, I am copying the nut-upsdev list so that other people can find this
email thread.

Hmm, the device shouldn't have detached here.

It looks like we patched this in the trunk, so it would be released as part
of NUT 2.4.0. I'm not sure if they will be releasing NUT 2.4.0 for FC9, so I
am attaching the updated files that you would need to rebuild the NUT 2.2.2
RPM.

Grab the SRPM from here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/
9/SRPMS/nut-2.2.2-1.fc9.src.html

Install it (probably "rpm -i nut-2.2.2*.src.rpm).

Copy nut.spec and nut-2.2.2-tl-reconnect.patch into /usr/src/rpm/ SPECS and
/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES, respectively.

cd into SPECS and run 'rpmbuild -bb nut.spec'.
