And again...

Well reading Neko's post from before about getting my Wacom Tablet to work again, I found out it was because of a kernel (the kernel being the heart of the Operating System as it were) [wikipedia] update. Well of course after I went and fixed my tablet, someone found an exploit in the latest kernel, on February 10th, which was patched by no later than the 12th. I got the update notification automatically in Ubuntu, but didn't patch it right away (the exploit was a local one). So I checked before I installed the patch, Wacom was working, after I updated the system, no more Wacom. So it just means I have to go back to those steps and go through them again.
