Comment on Get Wacom Bamboo Pen Working in Ubuntu Karmic by Jan

Hello Frank,

I've followed the steps, but after i execute :

sudo rmmod wacom

I got an "ERROR: Module wacom does not exist in /proc/modules"

Does this mean that the previous step has not been successfully executed? because when i try to execute

sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart

the system was giving me this message : "Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service hal restart"

what should i do then? please help

After I ran those three lines about two months ago my tablet worked. I also ran

> xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo 4×5 Pen" Mode Relative

to set relative mode. After the next kernal update relative mode was off again and the above command doesn't work. I get

> X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
> Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XInputExtension)
> Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_SetDeviceMode)
> Serial number of failed request: 15
> Current serial number in output stream: 15

> xsetwacom list devices
gives no output.

If anybody has an idea what else I could try to make it usable under Ubuntu again, I'd appreciate a response.

Hey,

I tried this on a clean install of ubuntu 11.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/wacom-plus
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wacom-dkms

but it didn't work. The pad light is on but i doesn't react and when I approach the pen to pad the light gets red.

Then I tried what you suggest on your old post, but when I get to "make" I got this error.

hectorbernal@hectorbernal-Studio-1558:~/linuxwacom-0.9.0/src/2.6.30$ make

I hope you can help me. I've tried different methods from several blogs but it doesn't work.

I ran the commands and now the touch function works to move the pointer around, but the pen will not work. Is there something I can do?

There is 3.1.1 now, but I think 2.8-3.0 were better.

I think so WordPress is the best as CMS. A lot of plugins and free stuff.
