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:

Hi
The power management applet should be all you need for your desktop
environment. I’m using Gnome here and haven’t installed any additional
packages. I use to run the tripp lite java package, but aside from the
additional info, the power applet works fine.

Review the ups setup located under /etc/ups/ups.conf.
I think tripp lite uses “usbhid-ups” driver.
Also, take a look at the docs for that package that should be located
under /usr/share/doc/packages/nut/README.SUSE
Thank you, I’ll give that a try. I’m going to have to find the power app, though. It’s doesn’t seem to be in any of the menus. May have to install it, but we’ll see.
Did you have to do anything special to get the java package to work, or did it just go “out of the box?”
