Ahh, perhaps we're on to something here: I noticed that if I choose e.g. the "Echo Icon Theme Palette" instead of using the "Inkscape default" palette (by clicking on the tiny palette selection arrow just to the right of the palette rectangle, which is the thing just below the drawing area), then the pen pressure works fine! I can even select various colors for the squiggles I've drawn. But if I go and choose the "Inkscape default" palette, or the "Greens" palette, then the pen pressure is gone forever (at least until I switch back to the "Echo Icon Theme Palette", and restart Inkscape. This might be a more tractable bug for the Inkscape developers to look into (assuming they can reproduce the behavior on some pressure-sensitive tablet).
The "Inkscape default" palette corresponds to either /usr/local/share/inkscape/palettes/inkscape.gpl or /usr/share/inkscape/palettes/inkscape.gpl depending on whether we're using the build-from-source or the Ubuntu package, respectively, which was why simply removing the entire "palettes" directory brought the pen pressure back again. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
