Hello,

I just tried to install apcupsd on my proxmox ve 2.2 installation in order to get the system cleanly shutdown,
but the daemon will not start.

After the installation I get the following error:

update-rc.d: warning: apcupsd start runlevel arguments (1 2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 4 5)
update-rc.d: warning: apcupsd stop runlevel arguments (0 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (0 1 6)

I found two informations on the web, which are saying that this behaviour is perhaps a bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610429
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apcupsd/+bug/971710

Can someone confirm that and is there a way right now to get it working ?

Thanks for your help.

Greetings Marco.
 
i see not an error, I see just a warning.

so just proceed with the configuration.
 
What is default timeout or timeframe when the KVM machine needs to be turned off if the host receive shutdown command (shutdown -h now)?

For example: Windows VM needs about 3 minutes to shutdown. If there is timeout (i guess it's 1 minute) the VM gets killed by STOP command?

Thanks!
 
Hi Tom,

It is just a fresh installation of Proxmox 2.2 and updated with "apt-get update" and
"apt-get dist-upgrade" ... so is there something else I have to configure in Proxmox ?
Perhaps a firewall setting ?

Hello again,

I checked again my config and found that I set SNMP for the upstype and then in the device-section I didn´t set the port (xx:161:xx:xxx)! AAARGGHH !

It could be so easy. Sorry for me causing inconvenience.

Greetings Marco.
