      @apremselaar said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):

      /var/log/system.log.3:Feb 13 10:17:19 pfs tripplite_usb[79064]: Signal 15: exiting

      Unfortunately the only log entry from the tripplite_usb process is an exit signal.

      It's more complicated, but would you try the following?

      First, this insures that the nut service is running:

      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh restart

      This kills any driver that may be running:

      killall tripplite_usb

      This starts the tripplite_usb driver in debug mode:

      /usr/local/libexec/nut/tripplite_usb -D -a RackTripp

      The driver will output debug information in the shell. Let it run for a few seconds, then you can kill it. Please post the output. Thanks.

          @apremselaar Thank you. While I research, would you repeat the test without "user=root" please?

              @apremselaar Sorry for putting you through so many steps. It's hard when you don't have the same gear.

              Would you mind repeating the test with the attached driver please? You will need to unzip the file. The checksum of the unzipped file is 36207.

              Thanks

                @apremselaar Also, attached is the release version of NUT 2.8.1 built from the release source rather than from the dev source. The checksum of the unzipped file is 28662.

                        Perhaps a dump question, but did you reboot after installing nut ?
                        In my case, I was getting this permission denied issue and after a reboot, nut is working.

                            This is puzzling.

                            The dependency that was used in pfSense-pkg-nut-2.8.2, was nut-devel-2023.10.07. For reference, the dependency used in pfSense-pkg-nut-2.8.2_1 is nut-devel-2024.01.03.

                            I would have expected the file I posted above, "tripplite_usb-2.8.1.zip", to work as that version is from the actual 2.8.1 release and should be almost identical to the version in nut-devel-2023.10.07.

                            I pulled the tripplite_usb executable from nut-devel-2023.10.07 and have attached it here. Can you please reconfirm that it works with the same test? Thanks!

                              @dennypage Sorry, I'm not seeing the attachment.

                              Is it possible that when I did the package update it (I assume) also updated the nut-devel package and perhaps the executable is linking to something in the dependency dynamically? or is the tripplite_usb part of the nut-devel package?

                              Thanks!

                                  Well, isn't that embarrassing! My bad. I just edited the post to add the attachment.

                                  NUT itself, including all executables, comes from the dependency which is currently nut-devel-2024.01.03. The pfSense package, pfSense-pkg-nut, only has the bits required to integrate with pfSense (mostly php). The pfSense package states a dependency on the specific version of the nut package that it wants.

                                      @apremselaar I believe I found the tripplite issue.

                                      Please try adding

                                      upsid=65535

                                      In the "Extra Arguments to driver" section.

                                      You should not need the "user=root".

                                          @apremselaar Excellent. It is a tripplite_usb specific bug, introduced 2023.10.11, right after our first devel snapshot. The fix went in on 2024.01.31, right after our most recent devel snapshot.

                                          I expect the fix to be in the next NUT version, after which you may remove the upsid entry from your configuration. Having it in there will not hurt anything if you should forget.

                                          FWIW, upsid is a new optional feature that allows you to select among multiple Tripplite UPSs attached to the same system. The bug was that the feature wasn't quite optional enough. 🤕

                                            @dennypage I see. Well I'm glad that you were able to identify the problem and a fix for it.

                                            Thanks again for all of your effort and quick responses.
