Hi, varun! Did you try to remove the Krita configuration file and clear the settings directory? rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/krita/* rm /.kde/share/config/kritarc
thanks i accessed the files rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/krita/* rm /.kde/share/config/kritarc but i don't know how to change file permissions to edit/delete them, i will try to remove these files and report back
thanks, i found the kritarc file and the krita folder at a different location in ubuntu 13.10 /usr/share/kde4/config/kritarc /usr/share/kde4/apps/krita/* i deleted the kritarc file and the contents of the krita folder in the apps; still the problem persists i can use the mouse to sketch but not the tablet, everywhere else both work after deleting the kritarc file not i do not see the configure krita option under the settings menue
Oh.. I seem to forgot to put a '~' sign in the second line... :( You needn't have deleted the system-wide settings. Now you can restore the files in /usr/share/kde4 folder by reinstalling 'krita' (or 'krita-testing' package using a package manager). Generally, every KDE app in Linux has two sets of settings/resources folders. One is default system-wide one ( usually placed in /usr/share), and the other in the user's home directory (under ~/.kde or ~/.kde4). One usually need to remove only the latter one. Ok, so, could you clarify me some questions: 1) Do I understand it right that before the crash the tablet was working correctly and after the crash it stopped working? 2) When do a stroke on the canvas with a tablet, nothing changes, right? 3) Could you generate a tablet log for me? Here is how to do it: https://answers.launchpad.net/krita-ru/+faq/2495
Created attachment 85534 [details] tablet event log generated a tablet event log as per guidance, randomly moved the tablet on the canvas, selected the "rectangle" tool , selected the "ellipse" tool tried to cancel, but krita crashed
Created attachment 85535 [details] backtrace of the crash dump back trace was generated after krita crashed while switching between tablet and mouse on the canvas
i re-installed krita, now all the menus and toolbars are visible Ok, so, could you clarify me some questions: 1) Do I understand it right that before the crash the tablet was working correctly and after the crash it stopped working? Yes, the tablet was working before the crash even now, i can open menus, select tools with the tablet but cannot sketch on the canvas 2) When do a stroke on the canvas with a tablet, nothing changes, right? Yes 3) Could you generate a tablet log for me? Here is how to do it: https://answers.launchpad.net/krita-ru/+faq/2495 Attached the event log with filename "tablet event log" thank you
i also attached a backtrace of a crash which happened, don't remember what i did prior to the crash, figured it may be useful thanks
Both the crash and the logs are really strange :( The log tells that Krita is accepting the tablet events nicely, including valid pressure sensitivity. The crash dump points to some suspicions thing in KoToolManager + paint op. Probably, the bug happens because there is no paint op/tool is associated with this device?
will reverting to an older version help? how do i change to the 2.7 version? thanks
I';d first try to upgrade to the final 2.8.0 release. If that doesn't work, you need to use the distribution packaging tools to remove krita, then remove the backports ppa and reinstall krita. Krita in the default repositories is likely 2.7.

Added support for the 'evdev' tablets There are two complications: 1) In each event 'evdev' reports not all the axes preset, but only recently changed ones, so we need to keep the state of all the axes internally. 2) 'aiptek' tablet reports that it is a keyboard. Well, let us not disappoit it that it is not. Now we just check whether this nice "keyboard" supports xinput motion and proximity events.

Hi, varun! Two days ago I've updated Krita Lime packages, could you try testing the new version? Probably, this problem has already been solved?
Thank You, i removed krita, then i re-installed krita and installed krita sketch as per the instructions on the download page earlier i had upgraded ubuntu to 14.04 but still the issue is as it is, i can sketch with the mouse but not the tablet
(In reply to comment #16) Erm.. did you run 'kritasketch' or usual 'krita'?
I ran both Kritasketch froze my system and i had to force reboot Krita worked OK except for the issue with the tablet
Had exactly the same issue with krita 2.8.1 (1:2.8.1-1-0ubuntu3): brush is disappearing/not drawing when operated with a tablet (Huion 580), but works fine with a mouse. Interestingly enough tablet worked fine in kritasketch (1:2.8.1-1-0ubuntu3) for me. Now I just installed krita-testing (2+git20140607+r75540-46-dk~ubuntu14.04.1) from Dmitry's repository and can confirm that the problem is fixed. Thanks!
