If it was me, I'd start with playing with the system settings in my 
windowing system.  I'm a KDE guy. so I go to System Settings -> Input 
Devices -> Mouse and make sure that everything is set right. I'm sure 
GNOME has the same sort of thing.

If you want to go deeper, then you can use

lsusb -- make sure the mouse is there (though it is if only the right 
mouse button isn't working, but what the hell)

If you want to capture usb packets themselves, then wireshark is the way 
to go.  See: https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/USB

But I gotta say, if it's just one button that's not working and the system 
settings thing doesn't fix it, I'd be thinking hardware issues, and I'd 
just spend the five  bucks for a mouse that works.
