This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the HIDRAW implementation released with Ubuntu 14.04. Essentially what seems to be failing is the ioctl to get feature reports (HIDIOCGFEATURE). Any attempt to get a feature report results in a failure with a ENODEV error code. The devices I'm testing with are USB signature pads (http://www.scriptel.com). These signature pads use HID feature reports to communicate capabilities and to set up the device. I can provide further information along with USB/HID descriptors if it would be helpful. I have been testing with Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop (x64) with kernel version: Linux <hostname> 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This kernel exhibits the problematic behavior, but when testing with Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop (x64): Linux <hostname> 3.11.0-23-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:05:23 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The 13.10 kernel's version of HIDRAW seems to work correctly. I've also tested with the vanilla kernel: Linux <hostname> 3.13.1-hidtest #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 09:14:28 EDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The vanilla kernel appears to work correctly as well. Kernel source used was downloaded from: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.13.1.tar.xz The configuration file used was from config-3.13.0-32-generic provided in linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic I believe the breaking change was made as part of commit aa6c390c4d59c9ff4fffd887e15783b2b793951b as part of ubuntu/ubuntu- trusty.git. I have attached a simple C program to demonstrate the problem. You'll need a USB HID device with known feature reports. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information or be of any assistance.
