Okay, I have found something out. I was reinstalling natty today (new harddrive, same 'puter) and found that inkscape was giving me pressure sensitivity. It was working.
Then I used apt-clone to get all the installs from my old system. Which installed huge numbers of packages and a new kernel - will try to get a list of all of them.. NOW inkscape is back to the buggy behaviour. No pressure sensitivity. So it looks like this bug is either in a recent kernel or an allergy to another package. The attached log file contains all packages that have been installed on this system until today. The interesting lines are from 2011-06-24 When it worked earlier in the day as soon as I had installed inkscape (running the kernel that had come with the live/install system from USB) and stopped working some time after running apt-clone. ** Attachment added: "all installations that have happened on this machine until today." https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/790130/+attachment/2180415/+files/installs_after_inkscape_worked.apt.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790130 Title: no pressure sensitivity with wacom tablet in inkscape To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/790130/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
