Hi Gene,<br><br>a first thank to Greg and Roger for the much appreciated help on the support queue...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/7/15 Gene Ulmer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gulmer@mcn.org" target="_blank">gulmer@mcn.org</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I installed NUT version 2.6.3-1ubuntu1.1 w/the client and server and the nut monitor. When I open the monitor, I get an error: error connecting to 'local host' ([Errno] connection refused). What can I do to get NUT to work? I can not tell if the NUT program is working or not.<br>
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit<br>
Installed NUT from the Synaptic Package Manager.<br>
My computer is a Systemax w/MSI motherboard K9N6GM series, 64bit.<br>
The UPS is a Tripplite AVR-550u connected to computer w/USB cable.<br></blockquote></div><br>first, this unit is known to work for more than 2 years.<br>next, as mentioned by Greg, is NUT configured?<br><br>the basic files needed for standalone protection are nut.conf, ups.conf, upsd.{conf,users} and upsmon.conf<br>
hosts.conf is for CGI operations...<br><br>There are some documentation, more Debian / Ubuntu focused, that may help you:<br><a href="http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html">http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html</a><br>
<br>A note on USB device permissions: you need to have udev rules refreshed.<br>Depending on your system and package versions, you may have to issue:<br>* sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --action=change<br><br>
and to unplug/replug your UPS USB cord.<br>Then start nut using "service nut start".<br>Before trying with NUT-Monitor, prefer using "upsc <devname>" with devname from ups.conf<br><br>cheers,<br>
