Hi guys, I'm new around here, I'm a LinuxMint user, running right now linuxmint 11. I FINALLY!!! Get Krita 2.3.3 installed following the guides around here with sadly so much pain like months ago installing, reinstalling, installing reinstalling different distros and give up, now I get back and finally got some patience (im not familiar with programming stuff) and install it. BUt now I have the most frustrated thing for a wacom user... NOT PRESSURE!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! LOL. Gimp and mypaint pressure runs great, but krita no ... Can someone help me?

PC Specs:
Asus laptop i5, 4gb ram, Intell Graphics (I think 512 UMA)
Linuxmint 11
Wacom Intuos 4 Medium

By the way, anyone have ever use Razer Nostromo? I would like to know if there is a software oriented with UI, not scripting or text configuration stuff, the company I think is not planning to make a Linux package I use this in windows a lot, but now moving completly to linux, I have so much future vision in krita and linux (not only KDE, plx make it crossplatform, that is important, not everybody is linux user, sometimes I have to use windows in other studios or even mac). CHeers guys, I apreciate the work you guys are putting around here. Here my portfolio, http://artsymptom.com

As Linux Mint uses Ubuntu as base you it probably has the same tablet pressure problem as the Ubuntu users. You could have a look at the proposed fixes and check if they work on mint too.

I did, I even re-install krita, install kubuntu backports too, and nothing .... what is the krita irc? im in #krita but no one is online, is the right channel? freenode right?

It's freedone at #krita. There are a number of people (myself included) around right now. Unfortunately right now I don't always notice when someone posts on IRC as I'm using Ubuntu with Unity and it's notification for IRC stuff isn't very noticable. I'm fixing this problem as we speak though by installing my good ol' kde desktop

RE: Your problem. It seems that the Ubuntu devs put some patch into QT for multitouch or something which broke pressure sensitivity. It's being looked into, but the proposed fix, which works for me, introduces even worse issues (animtim found the same). It starts drawing a line from the top left corner of the screen to any place you touch the pen to the tablet, every single stroke. >.< I'm impatiently awaiting a fix...

OHh ok, I understand, is QT a program language? I saw a library in the software package, I installed and broke something in krita, the global menu that have ubuntu dont work, I have to disable that to make the menus of krita work. I uninstall the qt package but the problem is still the same. I think if im gonna stay with linux gotta have to learn more about the terminal XD, is a little bit frustrating for artists like us lol. CHeers.

by the way Im in the irc right now

You normally shouldn't have to get in this deep, this early. It's just an unfortunate mistake in (K)Ubuntu Natty. Previous version (Maverick) works fine. Other Linux distro's work fine. If we wait for a bit there should be a fix in updates that will make (K)Ubuntu Natty work fine, too. Until then we either wait or try a different Distro (most of the devs seem to be on OpenSuse, although I found it a bit more unstable than Kubuntu ymmv).

The bug to watch (and VOTE on! to get this fixed!) is:

Just log in and click on "This affects me too" up the top.

Any news?

Absolutely! This looks like it would be a great tool for building the Krita LiveCD (another little project I have queued up to try and make it easier for people to try krita).

While I'm writing this email I'm currently finishing my last page with Krita ! I'm using it every day !
Agent ADAM #1 - 28 pages - is quite finished and half was done with open source programs !

Awesome! Really looking forward to seeing this! Please post about it when it's done!
