I have been using a Trezor with Electrum 2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Yesterday after a system update it stopped working. Electrum wouldn't talk to Trezor. I wasted a lot of time tracking down the root cause of the problem, USB device security had been "upgraded". What I discovered was that Electrum talked to Trezor, but only if I ran it as root. The following command will show the connection problem as an O/S configuration problem. Run this both as a normal user and as root and you will see the connection problem. This is a convenient way to see if your problem is with the O/S and not the Electrum setup.
lsusb -v -d 0x534c:0x0001
I fixed the protection problem by creating a file in /etc/udev/rules.d.
The file name is 60-trezor.rules
The file contents are
#
#
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="534c", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="534c", MODE="0666"
