sorry for the late of the answer, but as told previously, I just had my 2nd baby...
Félicitations, et à la maman aussi ;)
the problem seems to come, as Peter told, from the way you launch the driver.
Ok.
upsd tells us that it's connected ("Connected to UPS [mge]: newhidups-auto"), but the socket path should be something like newhidups-<section-name> where <section-name> matchs the UPS section in your ups.conf.
When I launch newhidups by hand the following way : /usr/local/libexec/nut/newhidups -DDD -u root mge /var/db/nut contains : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ll /var/db/nut/ total 0 srw-rw---- 1 root wheel 0 22 nov 15:03 newhidups-mge Log is available here : http://emss.free.fr/informatique/nut/newhidups.log upsd then can't find the socket : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# upsd -DDD -u root Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.4 Can't connect to UPS [mge] (newhidups-auto): No such file or directory Synchronizing........ giving up If I launch newhidups via : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/libexec/nut/upsdrvctl start mge Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.4 Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4) Detected a UPS: MGE UPS SYSTEMS/ELLIPSE Using subdriver: MGE HID 0.9 upsd finds the socket but doesn't synchronize : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/sbin/upsd -DDD -u root Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.4 Connected to UPS [mge]: newhidups-auto Synchronizing........ giving up Pinging UPS [mge] ...
