Description Bruno Wolff III 2011-10-16 17:13:39 UTC

Description of problem:
I have two MGE nova 1100s with usb connections and one is working on rawhide and the other is not working with F16.

[root@wolff ups]# /sbin/upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.2
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.35 (2.6.2)
USB communication driver 0.31
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

For comparision on the system where it works:

1) what version of glibc do you have? 

2) what is output of:
id nut

3) what is output of
lsusb
ll /dev/bus/usb/*


what debug messages reports ups driver? (look at /etc/ups/ups.conf for name of your ups and driver used), than start:
<upsdriver> -DDD -a <name of ups>

for
[myups]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "My ups"

it'd be: usbhid-ups -DDD -a myups

Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2011-10-18 12:46:24 UTC

glibc-2.14.90-12.i686

[root@wolff bruno]# id nut
uid=57(nut) gid=57(nut) groups=57(nut)

[root@wolff bruno]# usbhid-ups -DDD -a ups

I tried setenforce 0 after that, but still got permission denied.
I checked id nut on the machine where nut was working and saw:
[root@bruno bruno]# id nut
uid=57(nut) gid=57(nut) groups=57(nut),18(dialout)

Does nut need to be in the dialout group?

Comment 3 Michal Hlavinka 2011-10-18 12:54:02 UTC

Thanks for providing requested information. This is a known issue, glibc is broken. It's the reason why "id nut" does not show nut is member of dialout group.
