I purchased a One by Wacom tablet and it does not work in my Ubuntu laptop. This means, in particular,
-
lsusb
returnsBus 001 Device 004: ID 056a:037b Wacom Co., Ltd
-
Wacom Tablet in Devices in Settings says no stylus found at the stylus tab and no tablet detected at the tablet tab (and nothing at the test your settings tab)
-
xsetwacom --list devices
returns nothing -
xinput list

so nothing if I am not mistaken

I apologize if some of the above are irrelevant; I just took a long time through any forum and question that looked close to my problems, and those commands appeared from time to time.
I have of course tried everything I found, starting with https://linuxwacom.github.io/ as well as things along the lines of One by Wacom installing in Ubuntu 16.04 .
I am more of a basic Ubuntu user but I can follow instructions to the best of my ability 🙂 Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on my computer. I have just bought Wacom One Medium to my kid, and it works flawless right out of the box. It is the newest linux, and an old and simple model of drawing tablet - I am not sure whether it would work with more sophisticated models, but this is pure plug'n'play experience. I hope this helps someone.
