04242006 1112 GMT-6 Im a fairly new user to linux, Ubuntu specifically, and am trying to understand this NUT. I have a Energizer HMOF600 that I used when I was still on windows. I didnt even realize it wasnt working until the power went off this weekend. Someone in the Ubuntu forums suggested NUT. I did a search and found a link saying my UPS was covered by NUT. I have installed NUT via Synaptic. I also installed the cgi web interface. I followed the instructions on putting the example files in the other folder. When I open the web connection it says: Local UPS - error: Connection Failure: Connection refused. My UPS has a USB connection. Some help would be much appreciated. Wade

[Nut-upsuser] Little help with NUT on a Energizer UPS
Wade, First of all, the Energizer driver is an experimental driver that, I understand, is not installed by default in most distributions. Which means that you may have to start with NUT from the source, and explicitly include this driver for compilation. Second, the driver has problems with newer versions of the Linux kernel; in fact, I just submitted a patch that makes it work again on kernel 2.6.15. Third, the driver will NOT work with newer versions of the UPS. Last year, it appears, Energizer dumped the kludgy serial-to-USB interface (that showed up as an HID joystick, for crying out loud!) and replaced it a new interface that shows up as a PowerCOM USB UPS. Unfortunately it seems to me that the PowerCOM driver in NUT only works through the serial port at present (I may be wrong.) Well, hope this helps, perhaps to solve your problem but at least to avoid spending more time on it needlessly.
