   I recently installed ubuntu 6.06 (dapper) and noticed that it correctly   
   identified my American Power Systems U.P.S., (USB connected) so did some   
   looking through the Synaptic package manager and saw some packages related   
   to it. I installed apcupsd, apcupsd-cgi and apcupsd-doc. From reading the   
   description of apcupsd-cgi, I got the idea that there was supposed to be a   
   GUI for it, but there is none. I tried reinstalling the packages and   
   rebooting but still no GUI. Perhaps there's not supposed to be one, but I   
   thought there should be some way to set the parameters for the U.P.S. I   
   have not found any commands to control it via the terminal either. The   
   system still shows extensive information about the unit and its status in   
   the Configuration Editor, so it seems to be recognized and working. Anyone   
   know anything about this?   
      
    Thanks,
