Aha, some crawling around on the floor, I moved the cable to a different usb port on the breakup, and now it shows up in an lsusb! restarted everything, and now a upsc myups, gets me a report, ending with this: ups.load: 22 ups.mfr: Belkin ups.model: Belkin UPS ups.power.nominal: 1500 ups.productid: 0751 ups.serial: ups.status: OL CHRG ups.test.result: Done and passed ups.timer.shutdown: 0 ups.timer.start: 0 ups.type: offline ups.vendorid: 050d So I believe I'm in business if systemctl starts it on a reboot. However I get this at the top of a upsc report: Init SSL without certificate database Which I've not recalled seeing in wheezy. And the common certs are installed.
