Hello Charles, Thank you for your suggestion, however it didn't help. I was running it as root but I went ahead and added the -u root anyways. Nothing changed. So part or all the problem is that I don't have the "libhidups or libhid.usermap" files that the man page talks about:
You also need to install manually the legacy hotplug files (libhidups and libhid.usermap, generally in /etc/hotplug/usb/), or the udev file (nut-usbups.rules, generally in /etc/udev/rules.d/) to address the permission settings problem. For more information, refer to the README file in nut/scripts/hotplug or nut/scripts/udev. How can I get them and do I really need them? I copied and modified "/lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules" and added the following: e.g. TrippLite INTERNET350U - usbhid-ups ATTR{idVendor}=="09ae", ATTR{idProduct}=="2010", MODE="664", GROUP="nut" Thank you for your time and Patience On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 8:59 PM, Charles Lepple <clep...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Jun 13, 2014, at 4:45 PM, Bossard wrote: > > > No matching HID UPS found > > > > > > Driver failed to start (exit status=1) > > > > > > So I tried 'usbhid-ups -x productid=2010' and received the same error. > > Same exact error? > > I suspect it's a permissions error the second time.
