Wacom Bamboo stops working

Hello fellow archers,

I have a Bamboo Pen CTH470 and it works fine for a while until it stops working for
no reason. Most of the time I'm using it with Blender/MyPaint/Krita and everything goes
fine, from positioning to pressure sensitivity.

Here some of the status:

Installed packages:

Does someone have a similar issue or an idea how can I find the reason this is happening?
Thanks
