I don't follow what you're saying, but here's the output of the requested command.

As mentioned previously, local consoles are rendered useless unless nut service is stopped prior to use. (By issuing the following command: /etc/init.d/nut stop) I cannot set the usb.conf to use driver "cyberpower", as it's been removed from the package over lack of maintenance support from the vendor. When I set the usb.conf to use alternate driver "powerpanel", and port=auto, the service cannot start and returns "Unable to open auto: No such file or directory" error message. the 2 above drivers are (or were) serial drivers, requiring a serial port like /dev/ttyS0. I don't see the link with the present bug! can you please shed some light?
