[Nut-upsuser] Device not supported?

[Ambrogio Coletti]

I've eventually installed Manuel's packages (nut and nut-client).

When I run the driver as root (for my tripplite ups) I get:

/usr/sbin/upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.42 (v2.7.4-418-gb1314c62.7.4.1)
USB communication driver (libusb 0.1) 0.33
writepid: fopen /var/run/nut/usbhid-ups-trippliteups.pid: Permission denied
Can't claim USB device [09ae:1330]: could not detach kernel driver from
interface 0: Operation not permitted
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

And I had to create manually /var/run/nut.

What is the problem there?
