Hello,
We had some bad weather that caused some AC spikes and reboots to my Ubuntu Lucid box.
I went out and bought the first UPS I could find in my price range (I know - not very smart),,,,


It's called *SilverLine Hornet 1000VA - some generic OEM I guess,
It connects to my PC with USB. lsusb lists it as:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05b8:0000 Agiler, Inc.


I am trying to configure NUT to monitor the USP - but I can't figure out the right settings to put in the /etc/nut/ups.conf*
I was trying to follow this HOWTO:


http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-a-ups-with-nut-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/
But got stuck on the*



$ sudo upsdrvctl start
line...
Please help!

what do you mean "got stuck" What is the command output?

Why nut? my recollection is that gnome-power-manager works "out of the
box" on a desktop machine, just like on a laptop. (Sitting at my laptop
away from my desk at the moment, so I can't check my configuration until
later . . .)

I guess for desktop go with gnome-power-manager, if it's an ubuntu server,use NUT.

Thanks,
I tried to install it, but saw nothing new in the power manager after**install.
What should I see? a new tab?
Also, there were two options - one with hal and one without it...


Thanks!

At the end of http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-a-ups-with-nut-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/
"..., using upsd and upsmon, as opposed to nut-hal-drivers, is
probably the more reliable method of monitoring a UPS. It’s also the
only option available if you need to monitor one UPS from multiple
machines"


If you are trying the second method, running
$ upsc myups
should give you the ups status

you can also install nut-cgi to get a web interface to check your ups
and run commands. You must have apache installed for this.
Then you type on your browser http://127.0.0.1/nut (or the machine ip
instead of 127.0.0.1)

if you read french, this site (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/nut) also mentioned
soit par une interface fenêtrée : KNutClient (pour KDE),
NUT-Monitor (basé sur la classe python PyNut), MGE UPS SYSTEMS
Personal Solution Pac, etc
soit par une interface web : via l'installation du paquet
nut-cgi (tuto ici [en]), via un script php, etc.
soit sous forme de plugin : pour gdesklets, GKrellM, etc.

Never tried the hal option (that's to get info on power manager, i think)

Please post-bottom.
Regards
Luis
