Bug 1431

I installed Mageia 1 on my desktop. The issue is the same and more. I can right or draw in gimp or inkscape or whatever, but if I touch a button on the tablet or the pen I get logged out.
If I have the tablet plugged in when I start the computer, users disappear, only quest is still there, so I cant log in. When I unplug tablet and restart, users are there again and I am able to log in. It is very strange.

Could you try without wacomtablet installed ?
(Just to be sure it's related to wacomtablet package)

I'm wondering if it's not linked to a crash of wacomtablet here.
the 1.3.2 is out with a crash fix, i'll update it on cauldron as soon as possible (aka after the current perl update ) & push it as update for mageia 1 since there's a crash fix.

Every thing seems to be alright without wacom tablet installed.

So maybe it's related to the crash mentionned in the 1.3.2 changelog (i'm not able to reproduce here :/)

I am able to reproduce  the issue on Mageia 1 (KDE) here. It is suggested at wacomtablet's KDE-Apps page (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/wacom+tablet?content=114856) to use a newer version of the wacom driver. As far as I can tell (I'm no expert) from my Xorg.0.log, the crash was caused by a segfault in the wacom driver. I suggest updating the wacom driver to see if this fixes the issue.

Could you please attach the crash log available in Xorg.0.log ?

This is from the time I tried to use my finger (I think)

I've installed virtualbox again and tested wacomtablet version 1.3.2. So far it seems to work alright. I will test some more and let you know if I find some problems.

Well, that is cauldron in virtualbox I forgot to tell.

A package has been pushed for mageia 1 in core/updates_testing
Could you test it & report here if the crash is fixed ?

Version: Cauldron => 1
Source RPM: wacomtablet => wacomtablet-1.3-0.mga1.src.rpm

 I have now tried wacom 1.3.2 in mageia1. I'm very pleased, everything works as 
 it should. However there is one issue. I can't start cauldron in virtualbox 
 with wacom tablet plugged in. A black screen show up just before inlog screen
 and there it stops. I can start Fedora and open suse in virtualbox with tablet
 plugged in. If I unplug tablet and start cauldron then plug in tablet, it works perfectly. 
Maybe this little snippet from logfile in cauldron has something to do with it, I don't know.

This part is just another bug and should be reported in a specific bug (probably against virtualbox with more information like host & guest info, version of virtualbox used etc etc.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

@ QA
Could you please push this package to core/updates

Proposal of Advisory:
A crash of KDE can happens when configuring wacomtablet via systemsettings with for example a Graphic tablet CTH661 , this new package fix the crash.

How to test ?

it's quite difficult since i was not able to reproduce with my wacom tablet.
However connecting a tablet & try to configure it via systemsettings could lead to a crash with the old package. Installing the package from core/updates_testing should fix this crash.

With some mistakes removed : 

A crash of KDE can happen when configuring wacomtablet via systemsettings with for example a Graphics tablet CTH6661. This new package fixes the crash.

BTW is there a better name for "systemsettings", an official name in plain english for this configuration tool ?
