[Nut-upsuser] NUT 2.8.0-7 Can't claim USB device [2341:8036]@2/0: Invalid parameter using usbhid-ups

[Jim Klimov]

Hello,

I think there were some PRs from abratchik and/or others, related to
Arduino support in NUT, one big aspect being that these are typically
composite devices and the older codebase assumption that USB HID interface
and endpoints at hardcoded numbers became no longer valid.

Recent NUT releases have ways to configure those; IIRC a detected Arduino
defaults to "1" not "0" to work out of the box.

Some changes were relatively recent and packages in distro tend to lag
behind, so a custom build of current master branch may be preferential -
see NUT wiki on github for example:
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests

Also there may be an issue of `udev.rules` preset for particular
vendor+product ID device filesystem nodes to be owned by run-time `nut`
user. As a quick check/workaround, running with `user=root` can help about
this (if indeed permissions alone are the issue).

Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
