[Nut-upsuser] No USB/HID UPS found

Sun May 7 16:11:33 UTC 2006

Hi Vlado,

I don't know what most of this means, but since NUT is not seeing
anything, this must be a libusb problem. As far as I know, libusb does
not use /dev/uhid* on *BSD; it uses /dev/usb*. Also, the fact that
/dev/uhid0 shows the "nutmon" group does not mean that anything is
attached there.

Could you try re-running the driver with USB_DEBUG=2, as follows
(assuming a bash shell):

USB_DEBUG=2 newhidups -u root -DD auto

This should produce some debugging output from libusb. Also, I am not
sure if your libusb is up-to-date or not; make sure you have at least
libusb-0.1.10a.

Do any BSD people on this list have better advice? -- Peter
