[Nut-upsuser] MGE Evolution mge-utalk Driver Not Connected error

[Phil Harrison]

Hi Arnaud,

Thanks for your suggestion. I had to wait for a moment to take the UPS
offline to test your suggestion. I shut down attached system, turned
off the UPS and unplugged mains power for 5-10 seconds. I think
replugged mains power, turned on the UPS and all attached equiptment
started turning on.

sudo /lib/nut/mge-shut -DDD -a ups1

gives me same as before.

using mge-utalk same as before as well.

Is there anyway I can test whether the problem is to do with the USB
to serial adaptor? according to dmesg it should be working correctly.

[    0.010000] console [tty0] enabled
[    9.241586] usb 8-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Thanks,

Phil
