[Nut-upsuser] new mobo, ups doesn't connect

[Gene Heskett]

Hi Charles;

Had a fire on the mobo of my old server, replaced it all with about 10x 
the hardware.

dmesg now says this:
71068.842780] usb 1-9: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
[71069.012577] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=051d, 
idProduct=0003
[71069.012579] usb 1-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, 
SerialNumber=3
[71069.012579] usb 1-9: Product: Smart-UPS_1500 FW:UPS 03.5 / ID=1015
[71069.012580] usb 1-9: Manufacturer: American Power Conversion
[71069.012581] usb 1-9: SerialNumber: 3S1906X11389
[71069.126796] hid-generic 0003:051D:0003.0003: hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID 
v1.11 Device [American Power Conversion  Smart-UPS_1500 FW:UPS 03.5 / 
ID=1015] on usb-0000:00:14.0-9/input0

What driver do I now put in /etc/nut/ups.conf? hid-generic doesn't seem 
to want to talk to it, and the original name _(usbhid-ups) doesn't work 
from new mobo.  Oh wait, I can't spell. But that didn't help, and a 
restart gets this error:

Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote systemd[1]: Starting Network UPS Tools - power 
devices information server...
Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: fopen /var/run/nut/upsd.pid: No such 
file or directory

Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493
Dec 07 18:49:46 coyote upsd[3259]: Can't connect to UPS [myups] 
(hidraw-myups): No such file or directory

/var/run/nut/upsd.pid does exist, but root is being bounced and for some 
reason I can't su nut from root.

By now I've probably got it AFU from playing one of that famous 10k 
monkeys. :(

Cheers, Gene Heskett
