Bug Description

I have recently acquired a acquired a desktop running ubuntu 20.04. I have several computers and switch between them using this KVM https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B077SV9MMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The other machines are either running windows or ubuntu 18.04 or earlier. They are all fine, but the with 20.04 machine neither the keyboard nor the mouse works. On the 18.04 machine I can see

and it is the Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver which appears when the USB from the KVM is connected. On the 20.04 machine only this appears

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I have tested installation discs from 19.04 onwards. The failure first appears in 19.10 and is still present in 21.04

I can observe a similar problem with a dual boot laptop running windows 10 and 20.04. With windows 10 I can use it with the KVM for screen and keyboard/mouse, but with ubuntu 20.04 the keyboard and mouse do not work. This issue has also been observed here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/646515/using-logitech-mouse-keyboard-on-tesmart-kvm-switch-with-ubuntu-20-04 and I have observed it using a Lindy 2 port HDMI/USB KVM (but I'm unsure of the model).

I had to report this originally against xorg as this bug reporting system seems not to allow reporting of bugs against unknown packages. I also had to report it through the ubuntu-bug executable as I've been unable to find a way in launchpad of reporting a bug (as opposed to getting a guided tour about reporting bugs).

I am happy to supply more info and test fixes if I am asked but as with this type of bug where something fails to happen rather than something wrong happens I don't know what to look at.

Please plug the Unifying Receiver to the usb port of 20.04 machine directly (the usb port which connects to the KVM switch), then run lsusb and upload the output.

Let us compare the log with the one you plug the Unifying Receiver to the usb port of KVM switch.

Neither. I tested all the distros on an old machine I have which
currently runs windows 10. The distros were tested by putting the
installation on a DVD and booting from it. Here's what windows claims it
has

I don't have a "Unifying receiver". That's just the name which appears
and/or disappears when I plug in the KVM to the PC. The KVM in all cases
is directly connected to the keyboard/mouse/screen at one end, and USB
ports/HDMI at the PC end.

I just tried Ubuntu 22.04. Whilst the installer works correctly with the
KVM (so I can for example choose option 1, try or install), the
installation doesn't work (at least, not with the mouse, and without
that I can't get anything that would be sensitive to the keyboard).

By this time next year, there will be no Ubuntu (or Debian I think,
given that Rapsbian doesn't work with the KVM either) distribution I can
use, as at that point 18.04 will be end of support. I shall then start
having to try and learn other distros to see if any of them have
fixed/failed to create this bug.

Is there a set of builds between 19.04 and 19.10 that I could binary
chop through? This would allow a developer to narrow down where the bug
was introduced. Checking a build takes about half an hour, so if there
were say one per day between April 2019 and October 2019, that would
require 0.5 * log2 (180) hours, ie about 4 hours.

I tried Fedora 35, and found the exact same behaviour (ie the boot
program recognises the keyboard, but the final linux image does not).
