NUT plugin does not work after upgrade to 23.1

[IsaacFL]

I can not get NUT plugin to work, since upgrading to 23.1. This worked prior to the update to 23.1. The nut_daemon crashes

I thought there was potentially a problem with the UPS itself, and bout a new UPS, and still having the same error.

I did a new fresh install of the Router, using old config.
I tried uninstalling the NUT plugin and reinstalling. It just doesn't work consistently.

Hi,

What version you are running 23.1? Because in 23.1_6 and newer it should be fixed and you should not apply this patch.
See here.

Hi,

ok, I suggest a health audit.
And check the output of

ls -al /var/db/nut/ on the command line.

I never was able to get it to work. Did see the following warning, if thats a clue. Finally removed pluggin.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut: WARNING: failed precmd routine for nut

I have NUT runnung on 23.1.1_2 with a APS Smart UPS 750. I also had problems to get NUT stated because of permission problems.

This is what helped in my case:

What seemed to work was adding the tunable making sure that I included the quotes
So System - Settings - Tunables:

hw.usb.quirk.0
Needed for NUT
"0x0764 0x0501 0 0xffff UQ_HID_IGNORE"

The "" were needed.  Didn't work without it, and the values were obtained by using usbconfig as the thread said

I did not create permissions files.

After multiple trys and reboots it started working.

Spoke too soon.

Still broke, with logs full of:
