[Nut-upsuser] OMNIPLUS1000LCD is "unavailable"

[Kenneth R Litko]

Got it working Arjen... I had to compile 2.2.2 and install from source. It
must have been with the current version of NUT packaged with Ubuntu Server
8.04. 

The only remaining weirdness is upsc reports the battery (either 0 or 100,
nothing in between) and remaining minutes starting in the 1000's.

I suspect both of the above (or at least the battery %) are due to not
having a ground when I did an "unplug" test.

This could be due to a problem with handling interrupt reports. If memory
serves, Tripplite UPSes are broken in this aspect (and generate this
continuously), so you may be hit by this.

There was a fix for this in nut-2.2.2 (it limits reading them to 32), so it
would be worthwhile to check if upgrading helps.

Best regards, Arjen
