      @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.

            Can you confirm that you have rebooted or done an unplug/replug following reload of config and install of nut? There is a common permissions issue with usb until you do that.

            Please confirm that you are using UPS Type of "Local USB" with driver "usbhid", and that you have nothing in the Extra Arguments to driver section, and the all sections of the Advanced settings are empty. [You can stuff back later if needed]

            Where do you see "daemon pending"? In the widget? In the status page (Services / UPS / Status)? In both? If the status page, what happens if you refresh the browser? Does it still show pending?

            Lastly, can you check your system logs and post any entries matching "usbhid" since the reboot please? Thanks

              I was afraid of that. Since nut is not running as root, it won't be able to write to /root.

              Would you mind executing the following in a shell and then regenerating the crash?

              sysctl kern.corefile=/var/tmp/%N.core

              This will cause the core file to be written in /var/tmp which is world writable. Note that this setting will not persist across reboots.

              Thanks

                It's not a file per se. That is a message from upsd saying that the driver isn't running.

                Please run usbconfig and confirm that the ups appears there. Also, can you confirm that you have rebooted or done an unplug/replug following reload of config and install of nut? There is a common permissions issue with usb until you do that.

                Lastly, please search your system logs for items matching "usbhid" and post the result.

                  @dennypage done. removed the "interruptonly" and hit "save". Console shows:

                      @shaffergr I don't think it will be necessary, but if it doesn't generate a core file, add this:

                      sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1

                          @lcbbcl I need the messages from the usbhid-ups process. The messages from upsd are expected when usbhid-ups isn't running.

                          If you don't have any log entries from usbhid-ups, then please post your ups settings (Services / UPS / Settings)

                          I'll be away for a bit... but will look at it when I'm back.

                              @lcbbcl If you re-save your ups settings, it will restart the processes and you should be able to find usbhid entries.

                                          @lcbbcl I believe I have found what is causing the issue you are experiencing. To correct the issue will require an update to the pfSense nut package as well as updating the underlying FreeBSD nut package used by pfSense. It will take some time.

                                          In the interim, you can address the issue by adding the line "user=root" to "Additional configuration lines for ups.conf" under Advanced settings.
