[SOLVED] Can't install linuxwacom from AUR with latest X Server

Sara · 2009-10-14 16:21:58

I am unable to reinstall linuxwacom, which I had reinstalled perfectly the day before the big update from testing yesterday, which, among many other things, updated X Server to 1.7.0.901-1.

Here is the error output (am installing linuxwacom 0.8.4-6 from the AUR). I'm including everything that apears (to me) to be associated with the error, but if there should be more or less, let me know:

Error: unable to update linuxwacom

Because of this, I can no longer use my pen or touchscreen. My tablet is a Lenovo X61t.

This is probably due to the testing repo as the package's maintainer (gwash) was unable to reproduce this with the latest updates from core and extra installed.

[edit] Perhaps this is because this package is designed to be compatible with version 1.6 of X Server, and I'm using 1.7 (the latest in testing). Are any other tablet users in testing experiencing this problem? [/edit]

[edit] And as I thought, downgrading xorg-server to 1.6 fixed this (this also required downgrading evdev and the intel driver). So it's just linuxwacom's incompatibility with verison 1.7, which will hopefully be fixed soon. Marking the subject line as SOLVED, though the real solution is an update to linuxwacom. [/edit]

I can confirm that I get this error too.

tashtego · 2009-10-31 19:07:45

xorg-server 1.7 now in extra, but problem persist. Is there any fix?

@tashtego: The "problem" does not persist despite 1.7 being in extra now, but because of it. The fix is simple, linuxwacom needs to implement compatibility with xorg-server 1.7, which has been released just a few days ago. Give them some time... btw, linuxwacom-cvs has the same issues, so it seems they have not yet done it the development version, either. For now the only fix is to either fix it yourself and submit a patch upstream, or downgrade xorg-server to the last 1.6 version.

Man, I just got my Wacom Bamboo Fun today and I was really looking forward to using it. Well, I'll have to wait a little more.

I sent a message to the Linux Wacom project asking if they know about the issue (they probably do), will post back if I get any reply.

tashtego · 2009-11-02 15:26:01

Well, i've try gentoo-patch found here:http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291191, and linuxwacom compiled ok, but still doesn't work:

$ sudo cat /var/log/kdm.log |tail

Sorry, i was wrong - it works ok. Because of some misconfiguration i was need to copy wacom.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/ manually. On another computer yaourt do it well.

ido50 · 2009-11-02 17:16:41

I got a message from the author that he is working on the issue. He referred me to the xf86-input-driver page (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/%7Ewhot/xf86-input-wacom) and told me to see how it goes (which I didn't, yet).

Weird thing is, there's an xf86-input-wacom package in the AUR, but it's just the same as linuxwacom, with version 0.8.4, while the above page has version 0.9.1.

Could someone put a PKGBUILD with patch into the AUR please?

I've added the patch to the linuxwacom-cvs package.

Aidenn · 2009-11-06 02:18:32

this package from AUR works fine. the bamboo patches just add functionality, nothing is removed, so it's safe to use for everyone. at least my Intuos 3 works. ;)

-- edit --

by the way, does anyone's pad (that is, the keys and strips on your tablet) work atm? mine is detected fine, shows up in xidump, reacts to presses, but I can't get it to do keypresses. it does mouse clicks fine (albeit only when the stylus isn't interfering and far from the tablet, previously it worked independently), but if I assign a letter or any keyboard key for that matter, it does nothing.

-- edit 2 --

nvm, I asked on the linuxwacom ML, they're working on it.

Thanks, but I still can't build it:

I can confirm that. Same problem here.

I can confirm this builds and installs fine. Thanks.

linuxwacom-bamboo-cth-ctl also builds and installs fine.

One thing though, the .install file for all linuxwacom packages in the AUR says you can run the supplied update-kernel-drivers.sh script. However, upon completing the installation via yaourt, this file, and all other related files, are deleted, so the only way to run this script is installing the package manually via makepkg, as noted here earlier. Any way to avoid this, or even integrating the update script into the post installation script?

Patch has been updated again (I must have got the files in a muddle or something).
Sorry about that guys.

EDIT:

Try upgrading (from yaourt) now.
