I am having trouble getting monitoring to work on my OS 11.1 x64 system. The UPS is a Tripp Lite Model G1000u (similar to a Omni900LCD series from what I've learned.) I have the Network UPS Tools (nut) packages installed, and the UPS shows up in dmesg & lsusb, but I still can't get the system to talk to it. Starting the service just gives a failure with no log entries. (Monitoring works in Win XP, so the hardware is good.)

I've tried Google and some searches here, but can't find much.

Here's what the system is seeing so far:

linux-lsfs:/home/bruces # lsusb
