Hi Charles; Had a fire on the mobo of my old server, replaced it all with about 10x the hardware.
dmesg now says this: 71068.842780] usb 1-9: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [71069.012577] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=051d, idProduct=0003 [71069.012579] usb 1-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [71069.012579] usb 1-9: Product: Smart-UPS_1500 FW:UPS 03.5 / ID=1015 [71069.012580] usb 1-9: Manufacturer: American Power Conversion [71069.012581] usb 1-9: SerialNumber: 3S1906X11389 [71069.126796] hid-generic 0003:051D:0003.0003: hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11 Device [American Power Conversion Smart-UPS_1500 FW:UPS 03.5 / ID=1015] on usb-0000:00:14.0-9/input0 What driver do I now put in /etc/nut/ups.conf? hid-generic doesn't seem to want to talk to it, and the original name _(usbhid-ups) doesn't work from new mobo. Oh wait, I can't spell. But that didn't help, and a restart gets this error: Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote systemd[1]: Starting Network UPS Tools - power devices information server... Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: fopen /var/run/nut/upsd.pid: No such file or directory Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: Can't connect to UPS [myups] (hidraw-myups): No such file or directory /var/run/nut/upsd.pid does exist, but root is being bounced and for some reason I can't su nut from root. By now I've probably got it AFU from playing one of that famous 10k monkeys. :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
