I see you're trying out both serial (liebert) and USB (usbhid-ups) connected drivers, without reference of which one worked in an earlier version. I also see that you're attempting to run multiple driver instances in parallel (most likely, unintentionally) for the same UPS. This is never a good idea. Always make sure that when you're trying things out, the leftovers from earlier experiments are stopped. Since the VID:PID combination of your UPS is not supported (not even in the development version), I suspect you've used the serial driver before. If that's the case it should still work, but most likely not if you connect the USB interface at the same time (in many cases, devices with both serial and USB share a lot of interface hardware internally). Chances are that your UPS might also work through USB, but I have never seen that before. Best regards, Arjen I was simply trying to gather more information because the running setup, the one with liebert driver and nut user, wasn't able to run anymore with the upgrade. Sorry I didn't make it clear in the first instance. I made too many tests and more than one driver get loaded in the same time. The UPS is attached only via USB, as always was, I don't have a serial connector for this device. There's still something that beats me: I checked, and the first NUT installation was in 2008 the 2.0.5 version, with this very same UPS. It could be with a different driver, but the device was always the same, always connected via USB. Is it there a compatible driver, even if not fully-featured?

Sorry I didn't make it clear in the first instance. I made too many tests and more than one driver get loaded in the same time. The UPS is attached only via USB, as always was, I don't have a serial connector for this device. The 'liebert' driver is for devices with a serial port. If you've run that in the past through a USB connection, there must be a USB to serial converter in the UPS. If it worked before, it must have been because the kernel added something like a /dev/ttyUSBx (or something similar) and the driver could connect to that port as if it was a regular serial port. In that case there is nothing we can do for you and you'll have to find out why this /dev/ttyUSBx port is no longer created (this isn't handled by NUT). There's still something that beats me: I checked, and the first NUT installation was in 2008 the 2.0.5 version, with this very same UPS. It could be with a different driver, but the device was always the same, always connected via USB. Since we have never supported the VID:PID combination, this was most likely with the 'liebert' driver. Is it there a compatible driver, even if not fully-featured? See above.
