Trying to get a Tripp-Lite to work with nut--Ubuntu 10.10. I was getting the error message "unable to claim USB device", tried to unbind the drivers to that device, and had the following delightful experience. In short, continue to get the same problem, and the drivers bound themselves back.<br>

The usbhid-ups driver should unbind the kernel HID interface as necessary, but it needs write permission to the /dev/bus/usb/* node which corresponds to the UPS.<br>
<br>
Which version of NUT is this? Is it the set of .debs from Ubuntu, and if so, what is the full version printed by dpkg/synaptic/aptitude?<br>
<br>
If it is built from source, what options did you pass to the configure script?<br>
