Hi Greg,


2009/5/4 Greg <greg_roll at hotmail.com>

  Hi guys,

  I installed Nut 2.4.1_4 on Ubuntu 9.04 and I have similar issues. If I run upsdrvctl start I get


2.4.1-2ubuntu4 you mean (the one that is available in the distro)?
have you tried to unplug and plug back the USB cord of the UPS? otherwise, try this and relaunch upsdrvctl or bcmxcp_usb

Sorry yes I installed the package from the distro. I have unplugged and plugged back in the UPS but get the same issue.

I am creating a new install of Ubuntu 9.04 and will test again. 


  ==============================

  Can't set POWERWARE USB configuration
  Unable to find POWERWARE UPS device on USB bus 

  Things to try:

   - Connect UPS device to USB bus

   - Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
     See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

  Fatal error: unusable configuration
  CLOSING

  ==============================

  I am unable to run /lib/nut/bcmxcp_usb -a PowerWare -u root as none of the files in /lib/nut appear as executable.

  Any thoughts?


I've just checked again, and all the files in /lib/nut are executable in a fresh jaunty install.
otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to run the driver nor get the above output!
so I found this strange, you should check again... it's probably the devices privileges mentioned above.
and this one is possibly due to a bug in the package.


we seem to face a completely different issue here than the one on the QNAP.
I'd first like to be sure that you're unit is working (or not) in jaunty before getting back to the QNAP.

I've just checked the code (which has been revamped), and the specific part seem similar (can't be 100% sure though). now, I'll have to add some more trace to get more visibility.
I'll probably ping you tomorrow to test the latest subversion trunk. ok with that method?

Yes that will be fine. I will be away from home the next 3 days but I will test when I return.

Thanks again for your help.


Arnaud
