Type of device* : Graphics tablet
Brand and version of the device: Wacom Intuos BT M
System** : Ubuntu 23.10
When trying to click any UI element or the drawing canvas on Krita (version 5.2.1) the application hungs and I have to alt+tab to regain control of the application and mouse cursor.
Are you using an appimage from Krita or is it from a 3rd party (such as flatpak)? If not appimage, you might give that a try.
I tried both, first I installed Krita with the snap-store then I tried with the appimage.
Are you using Wayland? If so, try xorg.
When running “echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE” on the terminal it prints “x11”, I guess thats xorg, right?
From what I understand they’re both x – xorg is the open source version of x. So my guess about Wayland wasn’t right.
About a year ago I was using Linux Mint and this article helped me. It’s about using a Wacom on Linux.
When I was using Ubuntu 22.04 Krita worked fine, then I did a clean installation to Ubuntu 23.10 and it stopped working
Take a look at this one. There is a solution here I had never heard of before (but I’m not that experienced with Linux).
Referring to your last reply, I previously installed the kernel driver, xorg environment and libwacom-common package and left the xorg configuration with the 70-wacom file unaltered.
The last soultion didn’t seem to work, “Canvas Graphics Acceleration” is enabled by default. Worth noting that when testing using the setting’s Tablet Tester the message “Pen tip brought near” and “Pen tip taken away” appear on the logs. Finally, when testing on a new canvas the application may rarely hung and force me to log out.
Hi @Agalea, have you tried OpenTabletDriver’s driver for your Bamboo?
OpenTabletDriver is a similar project to DIGImend, which unfortunately never offered Wacom drivers (at least none that I know of), but unlike DIGImend they do offer drivers for Wacom, even for the Wacom CTH-470, which is a Bamboo. Since I don’t know if Wacom had different numbered Bamboo models, you may need a different number, but they offer a wide range of drivers for Wacom (and for many other manufacturers as well). The following link will open the search result for their Wacom drivers:

Thank you so much, that partially fixed the main problem!! 
The only thing left is that pressure doesn’t seem to work, I’ll go check the offcial OpenTablet’s Discord for any clues.
You don’t have accidentally deactivated the use of pen pressure? And have you made sure to use a brush that reacts to pressure?

And finally fixed, just had to switch from “Absolute Mode” to “Artist Mode” inside the “OpenTabletDriver” program. Many, many, thanks for the support and have a nice day ^^
My problem was very specific. (perhaps because my distro is Big Linux [Manjaro Based]).
I’ve decided to leave the solution on the forum, just in case anyone had the same problem. But now I see that the problem has been solved.
Before closing this topic I may include a fix to an error I encountered after rebooting the system with OpenTabletDriver installed. Krita still didn’t recognize the pen but after running “sudo rmmod wacom” it fixed the problem.
I am glad to hear that you have now found a solution to address the issues with your Bamboo. And thank you for pointing out the needed Wacom command to make your pen work, so others with the same problem can benefit from it.
