I have a problem with my UPS. After some time, it sort of Disconnects and as a result the Driver times out or something. I don't quite understand the Problem. It's my first time debugging/configuring a USB Device / UPS. I have many Config Files and Log Messages that hopefully describe the Problem better than I can. And I have made some Screenshots from the Last time this happened Today. (This happens Multiple Times a Day)

I needed this udev Rule because otherwise the Server would not Boot up and dmesg would be full of USB Reconnects every 10 Seconds.

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-nut-ups.rule

SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_end"

# Powerwalker
#  e.g. Powerwalker VI 2200 SHL UPS - usbhid-ups

LABEL="nut-usbups_rules_end"

I hope someone can help me diagnose this problem so I can use my UPS reliably.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

Do you have the driver normally running as a systemd unit? Possibly the "restart" via upsdrvctl causes the unit to also restart and complain due to conflict trying to use the USB port.

FWIW, NUT 2.8.0+ should have a more diligent retry logic. If you can get it built (e.g. current git master) it should hopefully behave better. See wiki for "in-place" build support.

Also maybe changing to "pollonly" mode with frequent ~15sec polls might help, if this device tends to go asleep and disconnect when bored, like some CPS were reported to do...

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

normally (e.g. when the Server Boots up, the udev rule should start / Restart the Driver with /sbin/upsdrvctl start. I think I started or restarted via systemd unit File while I was debugging with: systemctl start nut-driver.service. But the Data Stale appears even after a Clean Reboot after some hours.

I'm sadly not able to Build something because make isn't available and I have no src debs in my Repos Files. (I think this is a Proxmox thing)

How/Where would I Configure the pollonly Parameter?

Also, I'm not sure at all if the udev Rule is needed or correct, but at least the dmesg Reconnect Messages disappeared after I added this and Rebooted the Server. But still Reconnects every few Seconds in /lib/nut/usbhid-ups.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Also, also, I pretty much left the Default Settings intact as far as possible. So, if someone thinks increasing the Poll Rate/Freq Retry Times or something like this would help, I'm willing to try it. But Personally I Think that the problem is something else here.

I Disabled the nut-driver.service and Stopped it and then did this:

sudo service nut-server restart
sudo service nut-client restart
sudo systemctl restart nut-monitor
sudo upsdrvctl stop
sudo upsdrvctl start

Now it is working again for now, but I still noticed some Errors. I Think most Importantly the nut-driver.service failed again despite me manually stopping and disabling it.

For better Debugging Purposes i now first Stopped the Driver with

upsdrvctl stop

And then Started the Driver like this:

/lib/nut/usbhid-ups -DD -a powerwalker

And i got this:

can't build

That's odd - Proxmox being based on Debian. In fact got one running as NUT testbed and part of CI farm. You may have to install tools and other prerequisites, see docs/config-prereqs.txt

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

The driver log literally says Got disconnected by another driver: Device or resource busy - do you need an even more smoking gun? ;)

If your drivers are managed by systemd, do not intrude with other methods, same as for any other services.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

Note: NUT 2.7.4 had all drivers under a single nut-driver.service (so all drvs were restarted by the unit if you had several devices to watch). 2.8.0+ has it granular, with each ups.conf section wrapped by a nut-driver@UPSNAME.service instance (courtesy of nut-driver-enumerator script and service).

Yeah but which other Driver and why? I don't get it? Because it does this even if I don't intrude at all.

Okay, but i have only one UPS Device connected.

I have read the Document to the Point of:

mkdir -p nut && cd nut && \

./autogen.sh && \
    ./configure --with-doc=all --with-all --with-cgi && \
    make all && make check && make spellcheck

Can you please help me with how to do this? I never build something at all for Linux. Which Packages do I need to Install for example.

One the Above Command I get the following Error Message:

./autogen.sh

What exactly does export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.65 do,despite assinging a Variable?, and why do I need to do this?

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

Try reading more, and also the layman text around command blocks :) That document goes to greater detail listing packages to install for different OSes (notes from CI farm which looks at a lot of those).

Which other driver

As I wrote earlier, you seem to have a conflict of driver daemon started by systemd (per nut-driver.service, monolithic earlier or instantiated later), and separately one you launch or kill by direct calls to upsdrvctl. These are two separate daemons trying to get exclusive acccess to same USB port. When you do upsdrvctl stop, systemd restarts the deceased service because it must. Then you do upsdrvctl start, and the two driver processes elbow each other away.

Try to systemctl restart nut-driver in your udev rules, if that helps easier with your older NUT installation.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

It sets an environment variable in your shell, exported to be inherited by its later children (such as the build programs and scripts).

On some systems (e.g. OpenBSD) autoSOMETHING filenames are dispatching wrappers that call a specific version, as specified by such envvar. Haven't seen that on mainstream Linux, but there are many distros out there...

Somehow people are expected to be aware if not fluent in systems they use :) No fault at that, never late to start :)

But as far as i can see that's not what is happening. The other way around would make more sense to me Since it is the First NUT Installation and I only started to use systemctl start/stop/ect. nut-driver after I discovered it while I was trying to Debug. Before I noticed that I had a Problem, I only ever used this:

sudo service nut-server restart
sudo service nut-client restart
sudo systemctl restart nut-monitor
sudo upsdrvctl stop
sudo upsdrvctl start

To Start or Restart NUT. That's why I stopped and disabled the nut-driver systemd unit again and reverted to using upsdrvctl stop/start exclusively again today. But I don't know which way is better or intended and why one would be better than the other.

Well yeah ^^" I'm honest up until now I never needed to build something on Linux. I got along pretty well at work and at home without building something ^^" And it always seemed so complex. Don't I need to install the make Package for example? and other build tools? Don't I need src Repos to build something? Or will mindlessly exporting the aforementioned Variable work out?

I've read the Doc file further along, ignoring that i can't Reproduce the aforementioned Command, and got to this:

apt-get install \
    ccache time \
    git python perl curl \
    make autoconf automake libltdl-dev libtool-bin libtool \

Should this be installed on a Production Like system of my own?

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

Not too much of addition really (deps for CGI and docs would have a big footprint though, so listed separately; you might also choose just one of clang or gcc/g++), and should not be a problem for a production system unless you're in some regulated environment or with a very small rootfs.

With proxmox, technically you can easily make a container with same Debian version and all the tools, pick the configure parameters from distro source package (debian/rules file), build NUT there and make install DESTDIR=/tmp/nut, tarball the result from /tmp/nut and unpack it on your main OS.

Not sure I want to recommend that with your current proclaimed level of Linux proficiency, but as far as "doable" - yes, it certainly is :) And sorry, but I can't tap a crash course on systems administration and packaging here in finite time ;}

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

As for service start/stop, I'd expect the original distro's NUT packages that you installed to have registered, enabled and started the systemd services. But maybe I'm thinking too well of them.

No Problem I very much thank you for all the Replays so far. And I will get an RHEL Course later this Year from Work so that hopefully will help a lot too :)

I will Install these Packages on the main System without the LXC Container because yeah ^^" as you mentioned, it is easier ^^" But I will do so, tomorrow Because it near midnight here in Germany ^^"

As for service start/stop, I'd expect the original distro's NUT packages that you installed to have registered, enabled and started the systemd services. But maybe I'm thinking too well of them.

I think you are because nothing was started or enabled after just installing the Packages. I think the systemd Services were available though. I'm not sure if I checked ^^" It's also possible that I just used the wrong Command to start up NUT the whole time ^^" if I'm honest I must admit that I just followed a guide on how to set up NUT. That Guide is 1 Year old though maybe this has changed in that time and that's why I'm so confused.

Again thank you very much for all of your replays today :)

FYI: the https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests also touches on this, and was recently added into INSTALL.nut document.

Okay I now switched from:

sudo service nut-server restart
sudo service nut-client restart
sudo systemctl restart nut-monitor
sudo upsdrvctl stop
sudo upsdrvctl start

to:

systemctl restart nut-server; systemctl restart nut-client; systemctl restart nut-monitor; systemctl restart nut-driver.service

And changed the udev Rule accordingly to systemctl restart nut-driver.service.

But it doesn't Change anythin. After an Hour or so, i still get DATA STALE Again.

so, I don't know what's up with systemd and stuff, I still don't get it.

Will try to Build but after what I've seen p until now, I think this won't resolve my issues. Kind of losing my mind with this.

Would I need to Reboot to Apply changes to the udev rule properly? that would maybe explain my Last comment.

But the nut-driver isn't Failing like it would when I use upsdrvctl start, so I don't think that this is the case.

man, I really feel like I'm missing some better way of diagnosing or something, because I don't really "see" what's happing and when... it's really frustrating :/

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

In the years leading up to 2.8.0 release (and after it too) there was a lot of effort into improving debug-ability like this, including a DEBUG_MIN setting in various daemons' config files to avoid messing with init scripts or units to trace how they go about their life in production mode (avoiding "works for me" effect with a root shell vs. service context, etc.)

Understandably, the 2.7.4 once released (and packaged by distros) is set in stone and there's only so much we can do to easily debug it. That said, it is possible to e.g. add -D flags for daemons into respective *.service files for higher debug verbosity -- which would make the daemons foregrounded so you may have to fiddle with their service Type (simple vs. forking) as well, if that would help discover more hints.

The "ERR ACCESS-DENIED" suggests some problem logging in from upsmon client to upsd server - check MONITOR lines with passwords in upsmon.conf, and user definitions in upsd.users, and that these files are only(!) readable by NUT run-time user/group. I think daemons may refuse to use these files if their protection is too lax.

For udev, a reboot should help, but it may suffice to restart its service (may have to track down the name in your distro, see suggestions in the wiki article linked above).

Okay, The Permissions are correct per Default, I think. And the Password in Both Files does definitely Match. I checked this before a thousand times :(

Got an Error on the Last command, STILL Missing Dependencies?

Installed Additional Packages, where I thought I didn't need them while reading the DOC.

And then did ./autogen.sh and ./configure --with-doc=all --with-all --with-cgi again. It seems like it ran through this time.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

Sort of both. The first block (except last line with make install) is the ... in the second block :)

The first part is about building and installing (in-place overwrite, no packaging involved) a new NUT version on more or less any OS. The second part focuses on Linux with systemd. I believe Wiki article text and section titles imply that ;)

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

NUT does not currently include packaging recipes (or very few - e.g. a reference one for Solaris/illumos) since it is distros' concern about where files are laid out and how users are named, etc. Can't make one recipe here that would satisfy everyone in the field. Even prerequisite package names (tools/deps) differ between distros and even their releases.

There is a long-standing low-priority issue to trawl deb, spec, ... recipes in popular distros and place them into NUT sources as examples/references usable for a make package action, sort of "better than nothing", but it was not much pursued yet.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Sort of both. The first block (except last line with make install) is the ... in the second block :)

The first part is about building and installing (in-place overwrite, no packaging involved) a new NUT version on more or less any OS. The second part focuses on Linux with systemd. I believe Wiki article text and section titles imply that ;)

So as soon as systemctl is working/present on a system and can start some systemd services, I have i Linux system with systemd, isn't that correct?

Okay, I was unclear earlier. Which of the 3 Should I Use? 

mkdir -p nut && cd nut && \
    git clone https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/ -b master .
./autogen.sh && \
    ./configure --with-doc=all --with-all --with-cgi && \
    make all && make check && make spellcheck
:; cd /tmp
:; git clone https://github.com/networkupstools/nut
:; cd nut
:; ./autogen.sh
:; ./configure --enable-inplace-runtime # --maybe-some-other-options
:; make -j 4 all check && sudo make install
:; cd /tmp
:; git clone https://github.com/networkupstools/nut
:; cd nut
:; ./autogen.sh
:; ./configure --enable-inplace-runtime # --maybe-some-other-options
:; make -j 4 all check && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-monitor nut-server || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-driver.service || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-driver.target || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut.target || true ; } && \
   sudo make install && \
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
   sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create && \
   sudo systemctl disable nut.target nut-driver.target nut-monitor nut-server nut-driver-enumerator.path nut-driver-enumerator.service && \
   sudo systemctl enable  nut.target nut-driver.target nut-monitor nut-server nut-driver-enumerator.path nut-driver-enumerator.service && \
   { sudo systemctl restart udev || true ; } && \
   sudo systemctl restart nut-driver-enumerator.service nut-monitor nut-server

was the First one correct? Or would I need one of the other two? After your last Replays, I would tend to use the last one, just because systemd is available on Proxmox.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Okay, I restarted the udev Service, I didn't do this before. Udev rule is still systemctrl, and Rebooted to be extra sure. It seems like the problem is resolved, but I still get wired errors on some Services But everything is working probably. These lines still really confuse me: (all on nut-monitor.service)

Feb 22 20:57:08 pve upsmon[92222]: fopen /run/nut/upsmon.pid: No such file or directory

nut-driver.service and nut-server.service are looking good at the moment. restarting just that nut-monitor-service will change nothing and do nothing despite changing the PID of upsmon AND the according Log Line "Supervising process PID" (same PID as through nut-monitor.service restarted upsmon). And the thing is, I never used something else than systemct to control nut-monitor.service or upsmon.

So, what is starting the first/second(?) Process which the systemd Service then is supervising? Looks like the system Service is starting upsmon two times in a row and kind of forgets about the first one immediately. And immediately after I always get failed - got [ERR ACCESS-DENIED] but everything is working including "upsc powerwalker"

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

You already told me that I should check the Password in the following two Files / Lines:

grep -Ri "abcd1234" /etc/nut/*.conf /etc/nut/*.users
/etc/nut/upsmon.conf:MONITOR powerwalker@localhost 1 admin abcd1234 master
/etc/nut/upsd.users:  password = abcd1234

But it is matching. Are there maybe limitations on which character can be used or how long the Password can be? Mine is 8 Chars/Digits Long and consists only of normal upper- or lower-case letters and Numbers. Nothing else. So I would be extremely surprised if this were too much.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Okay, I have DATA STALE Again... So restarting udev Service and/or rebooting after switching to systemd Services didn't work out either... So back to Plan B on how to properly build the current Version. I'm still unsure on how to proceed. with configure and make. (And I kind of still think that just upgrading won't resolve my issue anyways :/ )

Sorry really getting Headaches and Depressed here. Constantly thinking "Comm on it can't be that difficult" ...

I'm going to bed now, rage quitting for today... I'll read any replays tomorrow...

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Okay, so I still don't know which Doc Part actually is needed to run... Since both are Part of the In-Place Upgrade Document and the Descriptions don't differ that much to me. https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests#replacing-a-nut-deployment https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests#replacing-a-systemd-deployment I'm not continuing until I know for certain that I'll build the correct thing, and not destroy my system or create dependency hell or something like this.

One Big Question mark in my Head is for example: What NUT-Deployment? Like when it's not systemd what is it then? Or in another section, I think I've read something like replacing-a-deb package or something, which is yet another command, I think. But when I'm going to install nut nut-client and nut-server apt packages the systemd unit files are deployed as part of the package, so what is it then? systemd or deb Package or nut Deploy? I don't get these terms at all...

But now I need to know if the following command is the right one to Safely Replace my Running Version correctly:

{ sudo systemctl stop nut-monitor nut-server || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-driver.service || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-driver.target || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut.target || true ; } && \
   sudo make install && \
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
   sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create && \
   sudo systemctl disable nut.target nut-driver.target nut-monitor nut-server nut-driver-enumerator.path nut-driver-enumerator.service && \
   sudo systemctl enable  nut.target nut-driver.target nut-monitor nut-server nut-driver-enumerator.path nut-driver-enumerator.service && \
   { sudo systemctl restart udev || true ; } && \
   sudo systemctl restart nut-driver-enumerator.service nut-monitor nut-server

I already have RUN_AS_USER in ups.conf, this should stay during the in-playce upgrade I strongly suggest. And I would have to delete the udev rule that I created manually.

But since I installed the deb Package via apt the Wiki says I would have to track down my build parameters and paths and stuff and not even a hint on how to do it or how to actually use these if I would already know how to track down these things. That's why I don't know which one is correct.

Also, read the Changelog Changes from 2.7.4 to 2.8.0: 

- usbhid-ups: numeric data conversion from wire protocol to CPU representation
  in GetValue() was completely reworked, aiming to be correct on all CPU types.
  That said, regressions are possible and feedback is welcome.

so, I'm generally willing to give feedback with Version 2.8.1 after I Replaced it correctly with my current Version. Just wanted to let you know, in case there where misunderstandings.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

It would also help if I could get clarification on my last post regarding the configured output.

NUT Paths:

  • Default installation prefix path: /usr
  • State file path: /var/state/ups
  • Unprivileged PID file path: /var/state/ups
  • Privileged PID file path: /run
  • Driver program path: /usr/bin
  • CGI program path: /usr/cgi-bin
  • HTML file path: /usr/html
  • Config file path: /usr/etc
  • Data file path: /usr/share
  • Tool program path: /usr/bin
  • System program path: /usr/sbin
  • System library path: /usr/lib
  • System exec-library path: /usr/libexec

Are these the Paths the Doc is Talking about that I would need to hunt down for my specific Packaging? If I would check on my system if these Paths exist and if the config path for example contains my current config, would it be the correct command to replace my installation? But I already can see that the Config Path differs from mine (/etc/nut/), so I'm again more confused than before because up until now, and according to your replays, I thought the systemd version would be the correct one. But I still need confirmation if my thoughts are correct. Like I'm running on the spot here. Without further input from anyone really, I can't proceed.

So please someone help...

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Or are these two not on the same level like 1: 2: But 1: 1.1? Because the Configure is only described in the first one, and that describes I need to hunt down these paths and stuff, so if later is the case, I would need to hunt this down in either case, is that correct? It's unclear because both sections use the same Header Style...

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests#replacing-a-nut-deployment https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests#replacing-a-systemd-deployment

It's not that I'm not reading the Docs Files and stuff, it's more that I think the Doc files are unclear in certain areas.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Okay, I've noticed that the two Versions really don't differ from one another at all. The only difference is the Reloading/enabling of the services... That totally confused me... I would just post one command, and for the systemd part I would make the header a little smaller and then just post the commands to first stop and then start and reload everything instead of duplicating it to a second make command one-liner. That confused me more than anything else in the last 36 Hours.

So, in fact, I would need to hunt down my paths and stuff in either case because its essentials are the same case. And I never read anything about how to actually do this or where to start or...

So less confused now, but still Running against a Brick wall not knowing how to proceed (How to get all of the appropriate pieces of information to correctly configure it)

Like I already downloaded a .rpm from RHEL8 Repos and looked inside, to get back some default files or track down default paths, but first, I think that that is not exactly what to do here, and second, there would be no indication (including the Doc Files again) on which info's exactly I need out of that File. (Like all the paths that are in the Package, or something else entirely?) And still, even if I had these pieces of information, I still don't see anything regarding how to use these in the configure command despite: "# --maybe-some-other-options".

The config Path mentioned by me a few moments ago for example, how would I provide the correct path to configure correctly? Nothing in the Docs as far as I can see.

I'm now stopping to Post again because at the moment there is nothing that I can do or provide or say that I didn't already and giving everyone who's following this Thread time to read and react.

Please, I must finally say this is not the right venue for learning about Linux, OSes or packaging. Just hard for me to pack years of learning into a dozen sentences, tapping on a phone during commute. You ask how, I link the docs which say how (maybe needs a dictionary to decipher though) and literally link to the RPM and DEB recipe files for common distros and you come back giving the impression you barely skimmed it after days of reading and trying. Am I putting more effort into solving your puzzle than you are?

That said, it is hard to guess the unclear parts of the docs precisely because of the experience, in all projects, so constructive feedback from "newcomers" and PRs to improve are welcome.

Back to the topic, RHEL recipes are of moderate use to you on a Debian system like Proxmox. The linked https://salsa.debian.org/debian/nut/-/blob/debian/debian/rules file lists the options they use.

Technically for "in-place" replacements, it suffices to match the config paths and run-time users, and replace the ways system starts NUT so it would run the new build. Overwriting all old binaries in the same places is a space-saving bonus but not a requirement.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

As for Data Stale, did you try a shorter polling frequency and/or pollonly instead of default work by interrupts (assuming the UPS or port on USB hub become bored when there's no traffic for a while, and begins power-saving - so losing the link)?

When in last experiments it did become stale, did the systemd-managed driver restart work well (e.g. no longer got two drivers pulling the rug from each other)?

Note that with 2.8.0 installed you should comment away the part with restarts (in fact there would be an udev.hwdb instead of udev.rules IIRC) since the goal/hope is that the newer driver reconnects better on its own.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago

Also one of the threads recently asked about systemd complaints about upsmon PID file - these are expected (search the issue tracker for details) due to multi-process architecture of it.

jimklimov commented 1 year ago
  • User to run as: nobody
  • Group of user to run as: nogroup

I wonder if that causes issues after all (e.g. some files/dirs get owned by that instead of nut inherited from packaging). Perhaps an explicit --with-user=... and --with-group=... would fare better to build-in same account names.

I looked up the Entire thread and you didn't link any recipe before. And I stayed before that the Docs are unclear and every time I told you so, I included examples of why I think that and what is unclear to me. And also, that rpms are no debs is totally clear, like I'm working with Linux for years now. I'm not a total noob, just because I didn't build anything before because I didn't need to.

That said, it is hard to guess the unclear parts of the docs precisely because of the experience, in all projects, so constructive feedback from "newcomers" and PRs to improve are welcome.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

As for Data Stale, did you try a shorter polling frequency and/or pollonly instead of default work by interrupts (assuming the UPS or port on USB hub become bored when there's no traffic for a while, and begins power-saving - so losing the link)?

no, because I still don't know what to configure to make these changes. But I assume I can get this info from man upsmon? (A Simple yes would be sufficient if that's the case.) I'm looking by myself later this day. If I find the according settings, I'll try I tell you how it went.

When in last experiments it did become stale, did the systemd-managed driver restart work well (e.g. no longer got two drivers pulling the rug from each other)?

I didn't see "Got disconnected by another driver" anywhere anymore since switching to "systemctl start/stop/restart nut-driver". My many Posted "systemctl status nut-*" Posts reflect that.

Note that with 2.8.0 installed you should comment away the part with restarts (in fact there would be an udev.hwdb instead of udev.rules IIRC) since the goal/hope is that the newer driver reconnects better on its own.

I also earlier already mentioned I would need to delete the manually created udev rule because I've read all linked Documents up until now.

Also, one of the threads recently asked about systemd complaints about upsmon PID file - these are expected (search the issue tracker for details) due to multi-process architecture of it.

Okay, that did clarify a lot. Then it is completely normal to have two processes running and restarting when I restart the nut-monitor.

I wonder if that causes issues after all (e.g. some files/dirs get owned by that instead of nut inherited from packaging). Perhaps an explicit --with-user=... and --with-group=... would fare better to build-in same account names.

That's because I didn't specify anything else than what's in your Docs before. The Link you Posted with the deb recipes is touching on that (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/nut/-/blob/debian/debian/rules):

--with-user=nut --with-group=nut \

As mentioned, before I'll look at that Link later today. Don't have the time right now, to compare the needed Build Paths-friendly names e.g. 'to detail the same paths if you intend to replace those' / 'Config file path: /usr/etc' mentioned by you and the Docs with the actual names to run configure e.g. --sysconfdir=/etc/nut Or if it would be sufficient to copy the Whole Value of this "Variable"

Again I think the Docs are unclear on that, and again I provided examples and why I think so.

Oh and I just saw the Link young posted here in the Docs with the Name "DEB rules". So, apologize for that, but I would consider that well-hidden. I've read that exact paragraph like 15 Times now, and I didn't even consider looking inside that link because I thought that this wouldn't be relevant to me just because of the way it is linked and described as "DEB rules". "Deb configure Parameters" or "Deb Recipe" would be a better fit and I would provide an example of what exactly you would need to copy for the configure command to not get asked that exact question multiple times by different users.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

As for Data Stale, did you try a shorter polling frequency and/or pollonly instead of default work by interrupts (assuming the UPS or port on USB hub become bored when there's no traffic for a while, and begins power-saving - so losing the link)?

Without changing any settings, it seems like I don't get Data Stale anymore. I think that's also since I've completely switched to systemd services. Instead, I get Connection failure: Connection timed out on the Monitor Service and upsc isn't working, same Error after a while.

I'll still try faster Poll Frequency According to man upsmon.conf the used Parameters for that are POLLFREQ and DEADTIME. Default Values Are:

POLLFREQ 5
POLLFREQALERT 5
DEADTIME 15 (The Bigger one of POLLFREQ or POLLFREQALERT times 3)

These are exactly my Configured Values. I'll try the Following now:

POLLFREQ 2
POLLFREQALERT 2
DEADTIME 6 (The Bigger one of POLLFREQ or POLLFREQALERT times 3)

According to "pollonly" I didn't find any hint on the man Page or the Docs. I don't know what this is supposed to mean or how I would set this. I'll let you know if these changes worked out or not in a few hours or so.

lso one of the threads recently asked about systemd complaints about upsmon PID file - these are expected (search the issue tracker for details) due to multi-process architecture of it.

Is this Message from systemctl nut-server.service also expected?

Nothing left to try again. Building isn't working, despite making sure I'm using the correct commands in this Thread like a thousand times... Without any further Help, I can't continue.

Section 6 Check Errored Out

Then I tried to run Sections 1-2 only because I wasn't sure about these paths in Sections 3 and 4. The Version of Section 4 is mentioned on the Linked Deb Recopies, but I think Both Section 3 and Section 4 or causing Errors. In both try's I excluded Section 5 Because I'm not sure about them. I'm only pretty sure about the --with-nss one, because i think it's either this or --with-ssl and i, included --with-ssl in my commands. And then run Section 6 again, the output

I think this is the First time that I saw this kind of output from the make -j 4 all check command in Section 6. So correct for me would be:

git clone https://github.com/networkupstools/nut
cd nut
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-inplace-runtime --prefix= \
                         --sysconfdir=/etc/nut \
                         --includedir=/usr/include \
                 --mandir=/usr/share/man \
                 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \
                         --with-statepath=/run/nut \
                         --with-altpidpath=/run/nut \
                         --with-drvpath=/lib/nut \
                         --with-cgipath=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nut \
                         --with-htmlpath=/usr/share/nut/www \
                         --with-pidpath=/run/nut \
                         --datadir=/usr/share/nut \
                         --with-user=nut --with-group=nut \
                         --with-udev-dir=/lib/udev \
                 --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system \
                         --with-systemdshutdowndir=/lib/systemd/system-shutdown \
                 --with-systemdtmpfilesdir=/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d \
                         --with-ssl \
                         --with-cgi \
make -j 4 all check

Does this make sense? If my assumptions are correct it would now finally be safe to proceed with the following command:

{ sudo systemctl stop nut-monitor nut-server || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-driver.service || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut-driver.target || true ; } && \
   { sudo systemctl stop nut.target || true ; } && \
   sudo make install && \
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
   sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create && \
   sudo systemctl disable nut.target nut-driver.target nut-monitor nut-server nut-driver-enumerator.path nut-driver-enumerator.service && \
   sudo systemctl enable  nut.target nut-driver.target nut-monitor nut-server nut-driver-enumerator.path nut-driver-enumerator.service && \
   { sudo systemctl restart udev || true ; } && \
   sudo systemctl restart nut-driver-enumerator.service nut-monitor nut-server

Is that correct?

With a weekend and laptop here, looking at this thread from start again to hopefully make more sense of it. Seems there were at least 3 issues similar to this discussed in parallel, so comments for one could leak into another. Being similar, they still were probably relevant too :)

TL;DR: There was quite a bit of breadcrumb tracking across the logs you posted (thanks, being drowned in debug data may be annoying but is often helpful). Some of the original issues were discussed before. Some not discussed may be about the contents of systemd units delivered years ago by NUT 2.7.4, such as lack of driver restarts if they fail, and/or timing issues during start-up (upsmon logging in to watch a not yet known UPS).

It seems your system may have exposed a new issue with configure --enable-inplace-runtime discovery of setup details, possibly due to permissions. Some ideas to try are posted below; I'll also try to reproduce the situation and try to address it if I can.

So just collecting a few bullet-points from a braindump as I go through posts and screenshots; some action items should be marked with a checkbox:

Feb 22 12:22:52 pve upsmon[3991037]: Login on UPS [powerwalker@localhost] failed - got [ERR ACCESS-DENIED] Feb 22 12:22:52 pve systemd[1]: Started Network UPS Tools - power device monitor and shutdown controller.

Feb 22 12:22:53 pve systemd[1]: Started Network UPS Tools - power device driver controller.

Feb 22 12:22:54 pve upsd[3991027]: Connected to UPS [powerwalker]: usbhid-ups-powerwalker


* Looking at the timing above:
    * I suppose certain systemd dependency declarations are lacking. However `nut-monitor.service` does say it goes `After=... nut-server.service` -- but maybe systemd decides too early that `nut-server` has started (and at least does try to log in before `upsd` has actually connected to the driver).
    * Those logs report that daemons started "just a few seconds ago" so maybe `upsmon` does retry and successfully connects later?

* Regarding the "3 variants" in https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1853#issuecomment-1440404054 : 
    * The first one is a typical approach for building "everything" (e.g. in CI context) but not very much intended for installation (not customizing users/paths)
    * The second and third are about the new "in-place" configuration mode which tries to derive the critical settings from an existing NUT installation, if found. The `# --maybe-some-other-options` part refers to non-critical settings (e.g. where to store the installed drivers, if you want to override those placed by packaging into strange locations like `/lib/nut` and not `/usr/bin` like other programs).
    * The third option just elaborates more on diligent careful installation over whatever is running, and specifically for deployments with systemd. As noted before, there are hundreds of OSes without it.
* The build configuration in https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1853#issuecomment-1442254797 was on right track, so I am curious why it did not detect and suggest the correct options after `./configure --enable-inplace-runtime` -- e.g. (as you also noted earlier), although it did decide to configure bin/sbin paths:

Other questions:

Normally not. Technically it means the driver did not set up a "socket file" or "pipe" to talk to the data server. Maybe it did not do so yet and will in a couple of seconds, or it died and never will until restarted.

See usbhid-ups manpage, e.g. https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/man/usbhid-ups.txt It is just a flag setting (nothing to equate to) in an ups.conf section for the device, e.g.

[ups]
    driver = usbhid-ups
    port = auto
    pollonly
    # other options

I think it disliked the literal dollars copied in \$${prefix} (maybe one escaped dollar could work here, for configure script to substitute the prefix it would know eventually), and the $(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) (in debian/rules file which is essentially a Makefile it is substituted from an earlier definition; in shell this means something else). So configuration mostly looked good now, except for artifacts like:

* System library path:  $/lib

But I think these two were almost addressed by https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1853#issuecomment-1445172919 : the "Section 3" is better than the literal text in "Section 4", but to match existing packaging perfectly, the prefix should be /usr so --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Regarding "Section 5", the --with-nss tells it to use Mozilla NSS for crypto; otherwise it would auto-detect if NSS or OpenSSL are available. The other two options are less consequential for run-time builds.

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Still Reading But I can let you know this so far:

  • One idea addressed recently (and probably your codebase does have that fix) was about inability of an arbitrary user to see into the configuration directory (e.g. /etc/nut or /etc/ups on most packaged systems) and/or read /etc/nut/*.conf files, so the configure run could fail to find the existing configuration details this way. Maybe there are use-cases missed with that.
  • [ ] As a quick fix (and check if this is the case) can you try running configure/make as root? "Should be safe" :) Or in a really safer fashion, record the permissions of ls -la /etc/nut/ and relax them so your build user may read the directory and files there, and would configure in-place more properly?

I can say that I did run everything discussed in this thread at any times with the user root logged in via "sudo -i"

Other questions:

  • Is this Message from systemctl nut-server.service also expected?

    Can't connect to UPS [powerwalker] (usbhid-ups-powerwalker): No such file or directory

Normally not. Technically it means the driver did not set up a "socket file" or "pipe" to talk to the data server. Maybe it did not do so yet and will in a couple of seconds, or it died and never will until restarted.

It seems that it did not so yet:

  • docs for "pollonly"

See usbhid-ups manpage, e.g. https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/man/usbhid-ups.txt It is just a flag setting (nothing to equate to) in an ups.conf section for the device, e.g.

[ups]

I'm trying this now.

Alright. So i tried to run this command now: (One time with and one time without '--with-ssl'

git clone https://github.com/networkupstools/nut

make -j 4 all check

It seems like in both cases 'make -j 4 all check' still errors out and I don't see any Testsuite summary in the Output.

The Configure Output in Both Cases where the Same Despite this expected difference: image

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

huh, I can't replicate the earlier successful Build I described. That's odd... Does it make a difference if I log in via sudo -i or directly to root@host via ssh? Because yesterday I ran the command from my laptop, which doesn't have my ssh-key, so I logged in via Password. (Needs to be changed) Today I'm on my PC again using my ssh-key and then sudo -i. That's the only difference that I can remember and that I can see looking at history. Using su - root instead of sudo -i at least does not make a difference.

I don't get it... Today on the PC I'm not able to get to see the Output 'Testsuite summary...' again no matter what I do... I'm really sorry but it seems like not all of my assumptions and Outputs of Configure were correct. For like I don't know which command Produced that 'Testsuite summary...' Output successfully with the 'make -j 4 all check' command...

MarvinMynx commented 1 year ago

Okay it seems like I were able to reproduce the successful run (getting 'Testsuite summary...') once on the laptop again, and then run the same immediately again and I didn't get the same output. (Not getting 'Testsuite summary...').

I don't know how this is possible but this is definitely the case and I'm starting to question my own sanity...
