<p>sadly, GPM (in fact UPower) will never talk to NUT directly. This was the way I was investigating with the nut-hal-drivers, but Richard (Hughes) doesn't want such bridges. At least, he thinks that UPower should only support standard units (the one supported by NUT's usbhid-ups driver). So you're stuck with NUT... For the GUI part, you should take a look at NUT Monitor (integrated in NUT, but still not packaged): http://www.lestat.st/informatique/projets/nut-monitor-en<br />
The last release includes a notification icon.</p>

I don't think that GPM can't talk to the nut directly, as using the mentioned process my UPS was working fine with U Ubuntu.

<p>Did you ever get this working on Lucid?</p>

<p>I'm trying to get my Belkin USB UPS (model f6s400auusb) working with Lucid NUT and having no success.</p>

<p>I only got it to work on Lucid using the Karmic package, which I have ported to Lucid and put in my PPA:</p>

<p>Hi, I was using the Karmic > Lucid port of NUT which helped my server recognize my Belkin UPS.</p>
<p>I notice the NUT package is no longer available in your PPA. Do you know where I can find it? (or was the megatec_usb issue finally fixed in Lucid?)</p>
<p>Do you know if the Belkin UPS works ok with Precise?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>On Precise, that UPS works out of the box, but it's now using the <code>blazer_usb</code> driver.</p>
<p>Here's my new <code>/etc/nut/ups.conf</code>:</p>
<pre><code>[belkinusb]
driver = blazer_usb
port = auto
desc = "Belkin UPS, USB interface"
</code></pre>
