        Sigh. That's unfortunate. Back on the path of getting a debug build I guess.

          @tman222 Hey, I'm sorry if you mentioned this before and I missed it, but could you share some information on the kind of hardware you are running pfSense on? Is it Intel or Arm based? Thanks

            so rebooted XG-7100 back into 22.05 (thanks to ZFS) and confirmed nut package and USB drivers work as expected. Rebooted back into 23.01 and same - exit on signal 10.

            Some data points:

            My NAS runs TrueNAS Core 13.0-U3.1, which os based on FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p2. It is connected to a 1U CyberPower 700VA UPS via nut and it is also working as expected - no issues.

            If I connect the 700VA UPS to my XG-7100 I get the same results - exit on signal 10. If I connect the 500VA UPS (normally connected to the XG-7100) to my TrueNAS server, works as expected - no issues and reports correct information.

            Also, I have connected the USB cable of both UPS to both USB 2.0 ports on my XG-7100 with the same results - eventually exits on signal 10.

            so...

            nut package and USB devices look to work correctly under FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE and FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE. Issue must be with FreeBSD-14-CURRENT.

              Hi @dennypage - this particular system that is seeing the signal 10 errors is based on newer Intel based hardware (running on an 10th gen Intel Core i3 CPU). It looks like it continues to run fine using the interruptonly flag as additional input to the NUT usbhid-ups driver (no disconnections/crashes yet). Please let me know if the NUT status screenshots would still be helpful to have.

                where do you put the interruptonly flag in the nut config gui?

                  Hi @shaffergr - you would put it in the "Extra Arguments to driver (optional)" section:

                    @dennypage Thank you very much for your excellent work on this package.
                    I have not upgraded to 23.01 yet, so a quick question:

                    Should we expect this to be an issue with all USB-HID driver local attached UPS’es, or do you suspect this is UPS model (USB implementation) dependant?

                    About once or twice a week I have a short UPS dropout (< 1 minute) on SG-2100/22.05 with my Eaton 500S UPS.
                    The SG-2100 is VERY remote, so I will try and replace the USB cable in a couple of weeks when I’m on-site again. I was hoping to upgrade to 23.01 at that time :-)

                    My SG-6100/22.05 have no such symptoms with its Eaton 550SC.

                    Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

                      They would. The purpose is to know what additional variables are being processed for the cyberpower when interruptonly is not set. Thanks.

                        So far all the signal 10/11 reports pertain to the cyberpower subdriver of usbhid. Not a guarantee, but a good indicator.

                          Is the nas running nut 2.8.0? Or is it still on 2.7.4? I was thinking it was nut, particularly the cyberpower subdriver, rather than a kernel issue.

                            @dennypage - actually, here is a list of all the CyberPower monitored variables from UPS status page. First one is with the interruptonly flag set, the second one is the full set (i.e. regular with polling enabled). I figured it would easier for you to diff the sets this way:

                            Interrupt Only:
                            battery.charge
                            battery.runtime
                            battery.runtime.low
                            device.mfr
                            device.model
                            device.serial
                            device.type
                            driver.flag.interruptonly
                            driver.name
                            driver.parameter.pollfreq
                            driver.parameter.pollinterval
                            driver.parameter.port
                            driver.parameter.synchronous
                            driver.version
                            driver.version.data
                            driver.version.internal
                            driver.version.usb
                            ups.beeper.status
                            ups.mfr

                            ups.status
                            ups.vendorid

                            Full (Polling Enabled):
                            battery.charge
                            battery.charge.low
                            battery.charge.warning
                            battery.mfr.date
                            battery.runtime
                            battery.runtime.low

                                That's what I expected. With 23.01, pfSense moved to nut 2.8.0. I expect that it's a regression in nut itself.

                                  I also added the "interruptonly" flag to the "Extra Arguments to driver" at approx 11:40 AM. No signal 10 errors/issues found in /var/log/system.log so far (little over 3 hours).

                                    Also if it helps, XG-7100 has a Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3558 @ 2.20GHz processor and my TrueNAS system is a SuperMicro Server MB with an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3758 @ 2.20GHz processor, so both amd64 architecture.

                                        @shaffergr, @tman222, @JonathanLee Can you check on your systems and see if you have any existing core dumps from usbhid-ups?

                                        They would probably be in /root, but just in case you can run

                                        find / -name '*.core'

                                        to search the entire system. Thanks.

                                          @dennypage Yeah same issue. Did a clean install upgraded from 2.6.0 up to 23.01 then added the package still no luck. Says daemon pending. Then reloaded my xml config and still no go.

                                            I delete and reinstall nut and i have the same problem.
                                            Why i see Can't connect to UPS [APC] (usbhid-ups-APC): No such file or directory
                                            Pf is not able to find that file, is not generated or what?
