Ubunti 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx

Yes, I changed. I didn't upgrade, because updating was simply using up the space. How in hell is Ubuntu wanting to take up more space than 6 GB?! Well, I said no to it, and installed a completely new one, the newest one, with long term support. Now, if this works out, I don't have to change for a while.

Works out of the box:
- pen, eraser and pen button in Xournal
which I'm really happy for.

also somehow the post concerning tc4400 and ubuntu grow through the years, so now I have a larger base for support. I'll see if the post will be helpful in the end or not.

I was also pleased when I experienced the new "Make bootable ubuntu USB" for the first time. It works good.

However, still, I didn't dare to go back on 64-bit.

Image rotation nautilus script in the right click menu

create folder:
/home/user/.gnome2/nautilus-script

create files:
"Rotate CW"
"Rotate CCW"
"Rotate 180"

edit these in gedit, and than make them executable.

This is the script for Rotate CW:

#!/bin/bash
mogrify -rotate 90 $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS

for CCW use 270 and for 180 use 180 instead of 90.

Screen rotation with stylus rotation on Karmic

Here's what changed:

To reach metacity type in terminal: gconf-editor /apps/metacity

To rotate the screen use xinput --list to determine the nape of the stylus, and replace "stylus" to the new name in the rotate script. My stylus has the name of: "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer"

Ubuntu 9.04

wow! the pen was recognized out of the box!
(while reinstalling, I kept my /home. I only formatted the partition with the system not the personal stuff.)

Now to do:
- eraser tip
- pen button
- screen rotation
- java for firefox

Feisty and Gutsy no longer supported

Since Ubuntu stopped to support the versions Feisty and Gutsy I might want to look for another operation system for any newer version of Ubuntu is unable to deal with the tablet.

As I still can run some programs under Gutsy like Xournal and GIMP to use my tablet I might split the hard disk and install a supported newer version of Ubuntu beside the Gutsy to be able to use the features of those versions as well as I might install a Windows XP on the other partition instead of a newer version of Ubuntu to enjoy programs such as Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Recognita, and some .NET applications I'm unable to run under Ubuntu.

As I do hate Windows for it being absolutely not user-friendly compared to linux I might split the hard disk one more time and install 2 versions of ubuntu AND a windows.
