Wacom left & right mouse clicks don't work.

[silversuds]

To Silversuds, it's fairly simple to downgrade. This isn't the most efficent way, but it works for newbies like us.

First, download version 1:0.15.99.1-0ubuntu0ricotz from http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package...rg-input-wacom.

Second, use synaptic to remove the current version of xserver-xorg-input-wacom (probably 1:01.19 ...). You'll also be removing the xserver-xorg-input-all package, not a problem if the tablet is your only input device.

Third, from a command line in the directory where you're downloaded file is, run sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-wacom_0.15.99.1-0ubuntu0ricotz*.deb (I entered it this way since I don't know whether you'll be using the 32 or 64 bit version.)

Best of luck,
Richard Quint

Hi Richard, thanks for the reply
I'm running on a 32 bit laptop with a trackpad... so I'm not sure I should remove xserver-xorg-input-all? (sry I neglected to mention 32 bit earlier)
I'm thinking it may be best for me to wait for a tar of the latest driver with the bug fix that Favux mentioned (If I understand i can run a tar to install)

[Favux]

No, a tar is not a deb. With a tar (compressed file) or a git repository clone (of the file(s)) you still compile either. Whereas a deb is an installation package that would contain the driver files and all you do is dbl. click on it for it to install.

See part II. of the BambooPT How To I linked to earlier to see the difference between compiling a tar or a git clone. It actually is not that hard. You just copy and paste the commands in a terminal in order hitting enter after each one. In this case to get the bug fix you need to clone the git repository because they haven't released a tar of xf86-input-wacom containing the bug fix. That'l probably happen in the next month or so.

Hi,

I too experienced this (using a Wacom Intuos 3, with a Wacom mouse type ZC-100-02).
After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.10 to Ubuntu 13.04, the mouse buttons stopped working. The stylus was still functioning properly.

I cannot reproduce the exact problem, but after some fiddling it went away.
Perhaps this could be of help to someone struggling with the same problem.

I tried the following, but cannot determine what exactly fixed it:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-wacom
reboot

Thanks!! This was driving me crazy. Just performing the dpkg-reconfigure followed by a logout and log back in worked for me.

Strangely enough, the problem sometimes reappears.
If I power down the system for some time, clicking is disabled.
Simply restarting the machine makes the problem go away.

Any ideas?

Hello,
I have the same problem with a Graphire 2 tablet's mouse. The dpkg-reconfigure didn't fix it. Has the bug been reported on Launchpad (I can't find a report)? Any DEB package or PPA out there that would include a fixed version (if I understood correctly, the bug has been fixed upstream by Wacom)?

EDIT: I opened a bug report on Launchpad in case the Ubuntu devs want to backport a fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...m/+bug/1192968
If you have a launchpad account, you can go there and click on "the bug affects me too".

Hi, The instructions here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...86-input-wacom worked for me on 13.04 32-bit. That is, I did:

sudo apt-get install xutils-dev libudev-dev
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom
cd xf86-input-wacom
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install

[abelthorne]

Thanks, I'll look into that.

You say that the autogen command is for 32 bits installs. Does it have to be modified for 64 bits installs (64b libs are in /usr/lib too, with 32b libs in /usr/lib32)?

[pannini]

Yes, I think on 64-bit the autogen command should be:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

[abelthorne]

I have no /usr/lib64, only /usr/lib (which hosts the 64b libs) ans /usr/lib32 (for 32b libs). I know there used to be a different organization (with /usr/lib64) but it's a bit messy since.

I'll try with /usr/lib to begin.

EDIT: I have a problem during autogen:

configure: WARNING: doxygen not found - documentation targets will be skipped
configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.7.0 xproto xext kbproto inputproto randrproto) were not met:

No package 'xorg-server' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS
and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

The first warning doesn't seem to be a big issue but I'm not sure what package to install for xorg-server... xorg-dev?
