I am using Ubuntu 14.04(64 bit) on Thinkpad x200. The tablet is working on windows 7(I have a dual boot). It used to work in Ubuntu 12.04(32 bit). I am now using

Here is the out pout from xinput -list and I see nothing about wacom.

I use

xsetwacom --list devices

to list my Wacom tablet devices, it works for me. (Cfr. also this blog post of mine about how I set up my Wacom tablet in Ubuntu).

  • The command returns nothing in my laptop :( – user136368 Aug 12 '15 at 08:42
  • What does sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom return if you type it in a terminal? If it says you can install, install the package, log out and log in again and then try again. – bartovan Aug 12 '15 at 16:38
  • The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-input-wacom : Depends: xorg-input-abi-20 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.14.99.902) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. – user136368 Aug 13 '15 at 09:03
  • You'll probably have to fix this before looking further into your Wacom problem. Maybe have a look at how to fix the "held broken packages" issue, eg. How to fix broken packages... (which is for 12.10 but the commands are still the same) – bartovan Aug 13 '15 at 14:41
  • Bart - The error is same even after following the instructions on fixing broken packages. – user136368 Aug 16 '15 at 06:15
  • I'd say your problem isn't so much related to the wacom issue itself, but more to a general state of your Ubuntu install. What might be interesting is try to run Ubuntu from a live USB (see here and here) and see if your wacom is recognized there? That way you would know if it's a hardware issue, an Ubuntu issue, or the state in which your specific Ubuntu install finds itself. If it works from the live USB, you might consider doing a fresh install? – bartovan Aug 16 '15 at 07:14
