I spent half the night getting this to work... and only got a little further. The only difference I found is:
On my Desktop with psp installed, but not running: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a mgeups Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.32 (2.2.1-) Using subdriver: MGE HID 1.01 On my Server without psp but exactly the same configuration in /e/n/: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a mgeups Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.32 (2.2.1-) No matching HID UPS found Is there anything else I can do? The UPS would be pretty useless without the ability to shut my server down during a blackout.
