 Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2017 2:15 pm Post subject: kernel 4.14.1 and upsdrv [SOLVED] |
 |
|
installed 4.14.1 and restarted to find upsdrv not working:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/upsdrv restart
* Starting UPS drivers ...
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
* Failed to start UPS drivers! [ !! ]
* ERROR: upsdrv failed to start |
USB_HID is still set in the new kernel config
lsusb finds the ups:
| Code: | | Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc. CP1500 AVR UPS |
the cyber power udev rules still exist in /lib64/udev/rules.d ...
anyone else seen this or know a fix?

replying to myself ('cause no one else will  )
I finally got around to looking into this
a simple udev rule change of permissions was the fix, as per

Your 4.14.1 kernel is stable? On what ARCH?
On an x86 complied with gcc 7 4.14.2-3 either panic on boot or within a day. ppc won't even compile. |

My solution consisted in adding user 'nut' to group 'usb'.

now using 4.14.8-r1 and it seems very stable
my AMD64 system is an unholy mixture of stable and ~amd64
