still get error with hid_get_input_report when using 1.0.5

[allenz92]

Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
python3.8

root@jmx-desktop:/home/jmx# pip list | grep hid
hid 1.0.5

Here is my stack trace:

This indicates your version of the native libhidapi is too old.

hid_get_input_report is a fairly recent addition to libhidapi, so it isn't surprising.

You need to update your native library, and then pyhidapi should work.

@allenz92 If you're on 20.04, then apt is serving you version 0.9 of libhidapi. I'm still working out myself whether it's possible to pull a newer version or build it from source, or if I'll need to fully upgrade to 22.04 to get it.
