I have a 64 bit Gentoo, with a Liebert UPS. The last NUT working version
was sys-power/nut-2.4.1-r1 (I also tried sys-power/nut-2.4.3-r2 but
downgraded, don't remember the reason).
Anyway with the upgrade to sys-power/nut-2.6.0 I started to see this
error message when I try to start upsdrv:
[root@aemaeth:/etc/nut]$ /etc/init.d/upsdrv start
* Starting UPS drivers ...
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.0
Network UPS Tools - Liebert MultiLink UPS driver 1.02 (2.6.0)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.
tcgetattr(/dev/liebert-ups): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
* Failed to start UPS drivers! [ !! ]
* ERROR: upsdrv failed to start
Upgrade instruction don't say anything relevant.
The link /dev/liebert-ups -> usb/hiddev0 is managed by udev, and the
permissons should be ok, this problem is present also if I set user=root
in /etc/nut/ups.conf (see further below my tests)
So I did a little testing:
[root@aemaeth:/lib/nut]$ ll /dev/usb/hiddev0
crw-rw---- 1 nut nut 180, 96 26 mar 08.44 /dev/usb/hiddev0
[root@aemaeth:/lib/nut]$ cat /etc/nut/ups.conf | egrep -v '\#|^$'
user = nut
[liebert]
port = /dev/liebert-ups
driver = usbhid-ups
[root@aemaeth:/lib/nut]$ ./usbhid-ups -a liebert -DDDDD

0.001168 This Liebert device (10af:0004) is not (or perhaps not
yet) supported
by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT.
If
this does not fix the problem, try running the driver with the
'-x productid=0004' option. Please report your results to the NUT user's
mailing list <nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org>.

I don't know what else I can try, I simply don't understand what's going
on. Donwgrade isn't a good option because nut-2.4.1-r1 is no more in the
portage tree: it isn't impossible to install, but I prefer to make the
new one work.
Thanks in advance
