[SOLVED] Mustek PowerMust 1060 UPS in Slackware

Laodiceans · 12-07-2010, 02:33 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to install a Mustek PowerMust 1060 UPS in Slackware without success. It have a USB port to control it but I don't what port it is.
Until now I did this:

Code:

$lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 1058:1010 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 005: ID 0665:5161 Cypress Semiconductor USB to Serial
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 008 Device 002: ID 046d:c061 Logitech, Inc. RX1500 Laser Mouse

Code:

$dmesg | grep usb 
usb 7-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 7-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0665, idProduct=5161
usb 7-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 7-1: Product: USB to Serial
usb 7-1: Manufacturer: Cypress Semiconductor
generic-usb 0003:0665:5161.0005: hiddev96,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Device [Cypress Semiconductor USB to Serial] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1/input0

I'm trying configure NUT without success because I don't know the port and the driver too.
I already tried the UPS software to linux. It is a .bin file and give me error on install. I think it is because don't support Slackware or it is a 32 bits software.

I need really some help on this.

Thanks guys.

Looks like the UPS uses a USB->Serial chip. The device name will probably be /dev/ttyUSB0.

I don't have much experience configuring NUT, but try the megatec driver. If you need more information, take a look at the NUT website. There seems to be a lot of information there. http://www.networkupstools.org/doc/

When I try to start nut I have this output:

Code:

sh /etc/rc.d/rc.ups start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Megatec protocol driver 1.6 (2.4.3)
Megatec protocol UPS not detected.
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

My /etc/nut/ups.conf is:

Code:

[Mustek]
        driver = megatec
        port = /dev/ttyS0

And I have created this file /etc/udev/rules.d/99_nut_serialups.rules

Code:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="UPS MUSTEK 1040 USB",    ATTRS{idProduct}=="5161", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0665", SYMLINK+="ups_mustek_$attr{serial}"
KERNEL=="ttyS0", GROUP="nut" OWNER="root"

I talk to a person that configured a UPS like main in CentOS and he did this:

Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d with this

Code:

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0665", SYSFS{idProduct}=="5161", OWNER="nut", GROUP="nut"

and his /etc/nut/ups.conf is like this

Code:

[mustek]
driver = blazer_usb
port = auto
desc = "Mustek Yukai Power Plus 1060"

I did the same on my /etc/nut/ups.conf but I dont't know I to put that rules on slackware. It is equal or not?

Laodiceans · 12-10-2010, 11:59 AM

Now I have this in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-ups.rules

Code:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0665", TTRS{idProduct}=="5161", OWNER="nut", GROUP="nut"

And in /etc/nut/ups.conf

Code:

[mustek]
        driver = blazer_usb
        port = auto
        desc  = "Mustek Yukai Power Plus 1060"

The result is

Code:

$sh /etc/rc.d/rc.ups start

After reading lots of howtos and README of NUT...etc.. I have this in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-ups.rules

Code:

# This file is generated and installed by the Network UPS Tools package.

ACTION!="add", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_real"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_real"
BUS!="usb", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_end"

LABEL="nut-usbups_rules_real"

#  Mustek Powermust  - blazer_usb
ATTR{idVendor}=="0665", ATTR{idProduct}=="5161", MODE="664", GROUP="@RUN_AS_GROUP@"

LABEL="nut-usbups_rules_end"

And this on /etc/nut/ups.conf

Code:

[mustek]
        driver = blazer_usb
        port = auto
        desc  = "Mustek Yukai Power Plus 1060"

Finally I get this

Code:

No supported devices found. Please check your device availability with 'lsusb'
and make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not help,
try running the driver with at least 'subdriver', 'vendorid' and 'productid'
options specified. Please refer to the man page for details about these options
(man 8 blazer).

Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

Now I don't know what do get this thing working...

Whoa cowboy.

If you have NUT running as root, you shouldn't need any udev rules for the usb device. You just need to make sure that it exists. From your first post, it looks like the USB device is a USB-to-serial. I recommend that you remove any custom udev rules, reboot, connect the UPS, and run "ls -al /dev/ttyUSB*". This will confirm that the UPS device shows up as a usb-to-serial device, and named ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1.

Once you have confirmed the device is /dev/ttyUSB0, try using this as your ups.conf:

Code:

[Mustek]
        driver = megatec
        port = /dev/ttyUSB0

You can also try the megatec_usb or blazer_usb drivers, but the majority of Mustek devices fall under the megatec driver.

Laodiceans · 12-12-2010, 09:21 AM

I did that with the blazer_usb driver and it already works. The rules in udev was as stupid idea...
