ups - Duplicate driver instance detected! Terminating other driver!

[ethereal]

i've had a ups for a month now and when i boot the system i get this -

network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.7.3
network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.7.3
network ups tools - Generic HID driver 0.39 (2.7.3)
USB communication driver 0.32
Duplicate driver instance detected! Terminating other driver!

i run a script to change the maxage to avoid the data getting stale. when i run the script i get this -

network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.7.3
network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.7.3
network ups tools - Generic HID driver 0.39 (2.7.3)
USB communication driver 0.32
Duplicate driver instance detected! Terminating other driver!

on a daily basis i get -
Jan 7 20:47:07 freenas usbhid-ups[3837]: Got disconnected by another driver: Device busy

i think this problem is because of the duplicate driver instance - can somebody help me find out why i have two instances running and stop the problem ?

keep it simple please i am a moron (not certified anymore i forgot to go to the meetings)

When you run this script what does it do? Probably best to shutdown nut, modify upsd.conf then start nut.

when i boot the server this is in the console -

network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.7.3
network ups tools - ups driver controller 2.7.3
network ups tools - Generic HID driver 0.39 (2.7.3)
USB communication driver 0.32
Duplicate driver instance detected! Terminating other driver!

but i don't think it terminates because there is still a duplicate every time i run the script. and which i think leads to the few times a day -

I'd have to question why you're using a script at all to interact with a service. If you have additional parameters for NUT, you should put them in the auxiliary parameters box in the GUI.

 

[ethereal]

maxage needs to go in to upsd.conf

auxiliary parameters box in the GUI is for ups.conf

I stand corrected :)

Could be a UPS bug, or a NUT driver bug, or just possibly a FreeNAS bug (including the non-driver parts of NUT). But not many people seem to have noticed it so the particular driver or UPS seems likelier. I'd try on a NUT forum (Google will know), but if they have no clue I'd suggest report it as a bug through the FreeNAS GUI. If you do the latter a) you have to register on the FreeNAS bug system before you start, and b) it is a good idea to let the GUI upload a debug file (will take ages). And please let us know the bug number if you do!

Duplicate Threads? I think you posted this in two places, not very cool for certain. Which one do you want me to delete or lock?

i tried to get support - and then i thought i had opened a bug report. (but it was only in the bug reporting forum) sorry.
i have created a bug report now.

you can delete any post you like

Ah, you missed the joke opportunity!

I see the confusion, glad you came clean, some folks would have just taken offense to it.
