Description Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-06 22:59:34 UTC
Description of problem:
The configuration I was using with my MGE Nova 1100 stopped working after I did a yum upgrade from F9 to rawhide (F10).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nut-2.2.2-2.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect MGE Nova 1100 via usb port
2.configure /etc/ups/*.conf files
3.service ups start
  
Actual results:
Starting UPS driver controller:                            [FAILED]
Starting upsd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting UPS monitor (master):                             [  OK  ]
From var/log/messages:
Sep  6 17:55:05 bruno upsd[1674]: listening on 0.0.0.0 port 3493
Sep  6 17:55:05 bruno upsd[1674]: Can't connect to UPS [ups] (usbhid-ups-ups): No such file or directory

Sep  6 17:55:05 bruno upsmon[1680]: Communications with UPS ups@localhost lost


Expected results:
Starting UPS driver controller:                            [  OK  ]
Starting upsd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting UPS monitor (master):                             [  OK  ]


Additional info:

I tried setting path to sbin in ups.conf and that seemed to make a difference, so maybe nut is not looking in the directories.

Comment 1 John Poelstra 2008-09-09 03:07:39 UTC
Sounds like a regression... adding to F10Blocker.

Comment 2 Tomas Smetana 2008-09-09 07:37:52 UTC
I'm really sorry but I can debug this only "remotely".  I use a different driver and it looks to work OK.  Moreover I have no UPS at hand right now (bussiness trip).

There were some conflicts with HAL drivers and the "ordinary" nut drivers.  Could you try to move /usr/libexec/hald-addon-hid-ups away (backup it) restart the machine and try again.  If that won't help, restore the file and we'll try other possibility.

Thank you.

Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-09 12:45:14 UTC
That didn't seem to make any difference.
This is my home system and I don't have rempte access during the day, so back and forth tests are going to go slowly.

Comment 4 Tomas Smetana 2008-09-09 13:25:04 UTC
My configuration with upshid-ups driver seems to work.  What exactly is in your ups.conf?  Does "upsc ups" (assuming "ups" is the name of section in your ups.conf) output anything useful?  Could you also verify no other instance of usbhid-ups is running?

Comment 5 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-10 18:53:21 UTC
I thought I had attached ups.conf in the original bug report, but i don't see it now. Unfortunately I am not home right now and can't attach it. I'll update this tonight.

No other usbhid-ups processes were running:

Comment 7 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-11 00:13:50 UTC
I forgot to test upsc:
[root@bruno bruno]# upsc ups
Error: Driver not connected

Comment 8 Tomas Smetana 2008-09-11 13:10:19 UTC
Could you please attach also output of "usbhis-ups -DDD -a ups"?

Thank you.

Comment 9 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-11 16:16:02 UTC
I don't get home until pretty late tonight, but most likely I'll get that for you tonight.

Comment 11 Tomas Smetana 2008-09-12 13:44:57 UTC
So even the driver itself can't find the UPS. Can you try different drivers: mge-shut or newmge-shut? They should have some support for the USB models as well.

Comment 12 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-12 16:05:39 UTC
I tried mge-shut and newmge-shut and they didn't work. They complained about parameters. Probably they are looking for a serial port specification. This isn't surprising given. The documentation indicates that the USB version of the Nova 1100 is supposed to use the usbhid-ups driver. This works with nut-2.2.2-1.fc9.i386 which I still have running on another server. The broken version is nut-2.2.2-2.fc10.i386.
Here is some output from the F9 server:

Seeing that it was almost the same version of nut on both machines, I tried testing some other things and I now think that the ups on the home machine got into a weird state that happened to coincide with the update. I thought I had already tested for that, but if I did it didn't work.
I tried forcing the f9 version on f10. That didn't immediately work, so I tried unplugging and replugging the ups. That worked. Then I upgraded back to the f10 version and things still worked.
Having to unplug and replug the ups is something that happens from time to time (usually on the order of a couple of months) and is usually the first thing I check. Sometimes I have to do it a couple of times to take effect. On rare occasions I have to shutdown the ups (or at least a few replugs didn't fix things) to reset the device.
I am sorry about wasting your time with this.

It turns out this is a real problem and that the f10 and f9 versions of nut have different affects on what is happening.
While rebooting to test some other issues with rawhide I saw the ups repeatedly getting into the above state. That isn't normal. I seem to be able to consistantly clear the problem by installing the f9 version and momemtarily unplugging the ups' usb connector. Once it is working with the f9 version of nut I can reinstall with the f10 version and things will work. However rebooting seems to bolicks them back up again (at least in several tries). I did test rebooting with the f9 version of nut installed and things came up normally. I also tried reinstalling the f10 version (with yum instead of rpm which also might do things differently) to see if just reinstalling clears things up, but that didn't make things better.
Versions I have been using:
kernel-2.6.27-0.323.rc6.fc10.i686
udev-127-1.fc10.i386
nut-2.2.2-1.fc9.i386
nut-client-2.2.2-1.fc9.i386
nut-2.2.2-2.fc10.i386
nut-client-2.2.2-2.fc10.i386

I've builtd testing packgages of nut-2.2.2-2 for F-9 and you may wish to try them in your F-9.  If they would work OK, then I would start looking at other component that could cause the problem. Usual suspicious is the kernel...

The packages are at: http://tsmetana.fedorapeople.org/nut-test/

Note that nut-hal confilcts with nut, so do not install nut-hal.

Comment 16 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-15 15:11:53 UTC
nut-2.2.2-2.fc9 behaves the same as nut-2.2.2-2.fc10 when installed on my rawhide system. It will work once nut-2.2.2-1.fc9 has been used to talk to the ups up until the next reboot. Then it will be broken until I reinstall 
nut-2.2.2-1.fc9 and replug the usb cable.
I tried this on my f9 remote server and nut-2.2.2-2.fc9 broke things there. I don't have physical access to that machine very often and can't test replugging the usb cable right now. Reinstalling with nut-2.2.2-1.fc9 and rebooting the f9 machine did seem to fix things there. Though when trying service ups restart I did get failures a couple of times and then it seemed to be normal again with restarts regularly succeeding.
So there does seem to be some difference in nut-2.2.2-2 that is triggering problems with the MGE Nova 1100 USB.

Comment 17 Tomas Smetana 2008-09-15 16:14:00 UTC
I bet I know...  It's the missing udev rules.  I have replaced the packages in http://tsmetana.fedorapeople.org/nut-test/ with the new version for rawhide.  Could you please test them?

Comment 18 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-15 16:59:55 UTC
I'm at the office now, so I can't right now. I'll test the new version out tonight.

Comment 19 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-16 02:36:33 UTC
I tried nut-2.2.2-3.fc10.i386 and a few reboots and no longer saw the problem, so I think you figured it out. Thanks.
Since this version isn't in rawhide yet, I didn't close the ticket. But feel free to whenever you are ready.

Comment 20 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-25 16:26:06 UTC
I haven't seen nut-2.2.2-3.fc10 show up in Koji yet. I am OK, but wanted to double check that you hadn't forgotten to officially put out a new version.

Comment 21 Tomas Smetana 2008-09-26 06:20:54 UTC
That's strange... Thanks for pointing it out. I'll find out what's happened.

Comment 22 Bruno Wolff III 2008-09-26 15:33:51 UTC
Looks like it is Koji now. Thanks!

Comment 23 Russell Odom 2009-03-03 22:17:12 UTC
FYI, I've just opened bug 488368 which looks very similar to this.
