Description David Hampton 2011-04-21 04:49:09 UTC

Description of problem:
Nut fails to start when talking to a USB connected UPS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.0-3

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "/sbin/upsdrvctl start" (taken from /etc/init.d/ups)
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.0
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.35 (2.6.0)
USB communication driver 0.31
Using subdriver: APC HID 0.95
libusb_get_report: No error
Can't initialize data from HID UPS
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)


Expected results:
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
Using subdriver: APC HID 0.95


Additional info:
A google search for "nut libusb_get_report 2011" quickly turned up the culprit.  It seems that upstream lost a two line patch that had originally been applied in 2010. (http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/changeset/2407).

I downloaded the nut srpm, applied this patch, and rebuilt.  With the tweaked rpm installed, the ups driver starts without complaint.

That patch broke some other UPSes so it was reverted and it was fixed differently in commit 
http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/changeset/2719

Could you check if following package fixes problem for you?

Comment 2 David Hampton 2011-04-21 13:38:38 UTC

Yes, your package fixes the problem for me.  I had thought there must be a better fix but didn't have time to try and learn the structure of the code.  Thanks.
