Description of problem: Using MCC>Hardware>Set up a UPS... The installation doesn't complete Error pop-up window is displayed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nut-server-1:2.7.4-6.mga8.x86_64 How reproducible: always on my machine plugged on an UPS Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to MCC>Hardware>Set up a UPS... 2. Nut-server package is installed 3. Select automatic installation via USB cable. Actually, manual setup fails in the same way. 4. Installation doesn't complete successfully. Pop-up window with : Write support for users is incomplete and it lacks sime support for some extra fields... (see attachments) 5. Do note nut-server service is not started automatically. I did start it and tried again the installation; installation still doesn't complete in the same way. With another distro (openSUSE), I have succeeded to configure the same system with APCUPSD. I could go that way but I propose instead to help you fixing this issue if you provide some guidance.
Created attachment 12471 [details] MCC UPS configuration start First window after package installation to start configuring the UPS connected on an USB port (sorry for the french langage used here).
Created attachment 12472 [details] MCC error pop-up window while configuring UPS This pop-up window ends the configuration process via MCC
Created attachment 12473 [details] journalctl output while trying to configure the UPS Complete journalctl output while trying to configure the UPS The device is a Back-UPS_ES_550G which was apparently found by the configurator as I never entered this information during the configuration.
I manually configured my apc ups years ago. For nut-server configuration ... # tail -n 3 /etc/ups/ups.conf [nutdev1] driver = "usbhid-ups" port = /dev/auto The above three lines were appended to the file. Pick any name you want where I chose nutdev1. # grep -v -e ^'#' -e ^$ upsd.conf LISTEN 127.0.0.1 3493 Added the one line above. # tail -n 7 upsd.users [admin] password = munged actions = SET instcmds = ALL [upsmon] password = munged upsmon master I appended the above 7 lines. Pick whatever password you'd like. For nut (the client) configuration ... In /etc/ups/upsmon.conf uncomment the line RUN_AS_USER ups uncomment one of the monitor lines and change it to ... MONITOR nutdev1@localhost 1 upsmon munged master Don't forget to change nutdev1 in the monitor line if you chose a different name. Change localhost to the ipaddress within the lan of the system that the ups is connected to, if running the client on another system. Enable and start the services under systemd. # systemctl|grep nut nut-driver.service loaded active running Network UPS Tools - power device driver controller nut-monitor.service loaded active running Network UPS Tools - power device monitor and shutdown controller nut-server.service loaded active running Network UPS Tools - power devices information server Yes mcc needs to be updated to handle usb connected aps systems.
