nut

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I am trying to have my UPS OK.
After a lot of efforts I am at a point where I get:

Dependency failed for Network UPS Tools - power devices information server.
-- Subject: Unit nut-server.service has failed

The "Duplicate driver instance" is a pretty strong hint that something else has 
grabbed the device. Before starting nut you might see if udev saw the UPS and 
started something for you (perhaps not what you wanted).

lsusb - should identify the USB connection
lsof - may be able to tell you what's using it, if something really is.

And there you have the total of my ideas, hope it helped.

Hello,

The glitch has been fixed by just rebooting the machine!

Thank.

Looks like setroubleshoot is complaining about an AVC, so SELinux is probably
blocking your access.
