Describe the bug My Wacom Tablet does not work on Linux Mint, I found a solution installing this: https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/releases

But when there is a kernel update, the driver stops working and needs to uninstall it and reinstall using the new kernel. Probably the wacom driver is outdated

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Plug in USB

Which kernel did you upgrade to? Kernels available in Update Manager by default? or something more recent like 4.19 kernel range?

Docmine7 commented 5 years ago

I updated using Update Manager, in the updates by default, 4.15-39 to 4.15-42

I tested Liquorix Kernel 4.19 and Wacom worked normally on UBUNTU MATE 18.04 on another computer

Looks like this was a bug that's fixed in 4.16+ kernels: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10133291

There's nothing within our scope that we can do about this, but there are various ppas and other methods of getting a newer kernel.
