Normally you should elevate to run e.g. `sudo upsdrvctl ...` so the NUT
driver program initializes as `root` and drops privileges to `nut`
(tweakable as the `user=...` in ups.conf, like your RUN_AS_USER in
upsmon.conf) soon after that, and default permissions on packaged files
expect that.

If you are sure the driver is not running (unclear from "eliminating the no
you need to understand what uid/gid you wish to run nut under, and
arrange that this uid/gid can open the devices, read the configs, and
write the state places.
you left out running 'id' before upsdrvctl start to see what the uid/gid
is.

I watched a youtube video to get this installed.
I have standalone nut installation on Ubuntu 22.04. UPS is a
CP1500PFCLCD. I have gotten as far as eliminating the no connection
