The simple answer is you can only have one of the following attached to your UPS: the HAL driver, or the normal NUT usbhid-ups driver. If /usr/libexec/hald-addon-hid-ups is launched by UPower, you may have to either disable UPower and use NUT's interface to shut down the system, or use whatever UPower is doing these days. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
