Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nut
First off /etc/default/nut is fine. After boot upsd is not started: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -A |grep ups 5077 ? 00:00:00 cupsd 5467 ? 00:00:00 upsmon 5468 ? 00:00:00 upsmon I believe this is why: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.1- Network UPS Tools - CyberPower text protocol UPS driver .05 (2.2.1-) Warning: This is an experimental driver. Some features may not function correctly. Can't chdir to /var/run/nut: Permission denied Driver failed to start (exit status=1) Permissions for /var/run/nut: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/run drwxrwx--- 2 root nut 60 2008-04-26 16:47 nut I "chown"'ed to nut and all was well but the owner was reset on reboot. The permanent solution I found was to add the nut user to the nut group. Apparently the package install script does not do that. It probably could/should be the default behavior.
