Bug Description

After upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, my USB HID dance mat (a game controller) no longer works. This shows up in syslog when I plug it in:

$ uname -r

It worked just fine in Intrepid.

Hi Forest,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 379681

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the problem is gone (for me) in Lucid beta 2.

Update: I spoke too soon. The problem occurs intermittently on current lucid (kernel 2.6.32-22-generic).

It failed yesterday. Here's what syslog said when I plugged in the device:
