[Nut-upsuser] CentOS 8 w/gnome and NUT

[Ben Kamen]

I'm playing with a new CentOS 8 with a cyperpower OR500 (a smaller sibling to the OR700) plugged in via USB.

GNOME sees the UPS... but NUT does not (even if I shut down gnome).

> [root at delp ups]# upsdrvctl start
> Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
> Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
> USB communication driver 0.33
> No matching HID UPS found
> Driver failed to start (exit status=1)


Annoyingly, the USB listeing is for a PR1500 even though it really IS an OR500

What else can I provide to help debug this?

And -- can gnome and NUT access the UPS at the same time or do I need to disable Gnome somehow?

Thanks,
