[Nut-upsuser] Ubuntu 10.04 Ultra 700VA UPS Setup Nut

[Eric OwN-3m-All]

Yes, my version is:  nut 2.4.3-1ubuntu3 network UPS tools - core system

The only files I see in the /dev/ directory that might be USB related are
usbmon1 - usbmon5

Nothing appears when I run:   sudo modprobe cypress_m8

When I run:   sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial
I get this:  usbserinfo:1.0 driver:2.0

I set the config file as you stated, but I can't get it to load, as it can't
find USBTTY0

eric at eric-desktop:~$ sudo upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol serial driver 1.51 (2.4.3)

Unable to open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory

ups.conf looks like this now:

# /etc/nut/ups.conf

[Ultra]
    driver = blazer_ser
        port = /dev/ttyUSB0
