Installing the Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch

Solution 1:

It should work out of the box. Just plug it in and you're good to go. You can test it out with the simple (yet powerful) program called "mypaint", available in the software center.

If it doesn't work (usually because it's a brand new piece of hardware) it's possible that you need to update the module for wacom tablets. You can do that by entering the following in the terminal:

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

Restart your computer and plug in your tablet. It should work now.
