I?m making some progress I believe? I switched off and switched on the UPS further to the laptop having started the daemon and I?m not getting the same error message which is probably due to the server working in the background still locking the device I think the daemon starts but gets into an infinite loop and doesn?t finish and hand back control. Here are the updated traces I got by restarting : sudo ./usbhid-ups -a myups3 -DDD>& tracefile Please apologies for the extra length of the traces as most of them are probably irrelevant (I had to cut the main file into multiple chunks): I have zipped the trace as requested.

Is there (intentional or not) USB pass-through to the UPSes? My hint is, we had cases where a host or guest grabbed the device but it was not apparent from the part of system running NUT.

Have you stopped other NUT drivers for the device (e.g. via auto-resuscitating services) before starting this one? Does udev, ugen or similar facility have the configuration to hand off this device to NUT run-time user? (BTW, if you are now testing a custom build - was it configured to use same accounts as pre-packaged variant)?
