Stopped working after Kubuntu 14.04 update

[Jeremy Ray]

I've had Pystromo working for many years, but found it was not working when I booted the computer this morning. I checked to be sure all the files were in place, no problems there. The only thing I can think of is that something changed when I allowed Kubuntu to update yesterday. Jeff Licquia's reply in bug report #574025 suggests that may be what happened -

"You might want to try my branch (also posted in the answers thread mentioned above). It seems the kernel changed some of its key mappings; updating pystromo (and the map file) to recognize the new keys fixed the problem for me. I don't use the joystick, so I can't tell you what might be wrong there."

Restarting pystromo-mon.py from Konsole gives these errors -

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jeremy/Documents/pystromo/pystromo-remap.py", line 51, in <module>
    output = devices.OutputDevice()
  File "/home/jeremy/Documents/pystromo/lib/devices.py", line 665, in __init__
    self.node = ioctl.OutputNode()
  File "/home/jeremy/Documents/pystromo/lib/ioctl.py", line 237, in __init__
    raise LookupError ('no uinput device-nodes found')
LookupError: no uinput device-nodes found

Thanks.
