[Nut-upsdev] USB match but cannot open??

[Jim Klimov]

Cheers,

  This error message usually deals with a couple of situations:

1) Actual lack of permissions (POSIX bits in devfs) - usually solved by
`udev` or similar subsystem that handles hotplug HW for the OS. Or by
running the driver as root and not losing the privileges (user=root in
ups.conf) as a temporary fix and check that this is the case at all;

2) Someone else has hold of the device and libusb can't take it as
exclusively as NUT needs (lsof/fuser/... to check if any other programs
hold it - maybe another copy of your driver program in debugger etc).

Happy Thanksgiving,
Jim
