The packaging error is that (/var)/run/nut should have been used for drivers and upsd, or /var/state/ups as it should also exist and be accessible to these. For a quick fix you can set Environment=NUT_ALTPIDPATH=/var/state/ups for their systemd units or respective custom drop-in files.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Jim</div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Nov 29, 2022, 14:06 Bill Gee <<a href="mailto:bgee@campercaver.net">bgee@campercaver.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Yesterday I upgraded one of my systems from Fedora 36 to Fedora 37. NUT <br>
was upgraded to version 2.8.0. It no longer runs.<br>
<br>
At first I thought it was because of the XFCE Power Manager program. <br>
That program finds the UPS with no problem. I thought maybe the two <br>
programs were competing for the UPS port. I shut down the XFCE power <br>
manager, but that did not help NUT.<br>
<br>
Based on the diagnostics given below, I think this is a permissions <br>
problem at /run. The nut user does not have write permissions at /run. <br>
Note that /run is linked as /var/run and the nut user DOES have write <br>
permissions there.<br>
<br>
How can I correct this?<br>
