(Solved) Wacom Tablet doesn't work after running command

[honest epoch]

I tried to run echo "blacklist wacom" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" since I saw it on a website which said that it would fix some tablet issues I had but when I ran that command it made my tablet non responsive is there a way to reverse this?(new to arch btw)

[short yew]

U executed commands without knowing what they do?

[honest epoch]

Not totally since the app i tried to run said that if im having problems i should try this and this but yea since im new to linux i dont really know a ton of stuff

[short yew]

look up what tee does

[honest epoch]

Alright i looked it up

[short yew]

Ok

so what did it do

[clear ether]

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
remove blacklist wacom
modprobe wacom
check if tablet works

[short yew]

ffs

[honest epoch]

I dont fully understand but it duplicated its output?

[honest epoch]

alright lemme try that

[short yew]

read from standard input and write to standard output and
files

what did u read lol

u wrote this blacklist wacom to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

[honest epoch]

Oh

[short yew]

so removing it from there should revert the changes u did

[honest epoch]

sorry i dont really understand linux since my friends basically do everything for me

[short yew]

well thats very bad

start doing things on your own

and arch is a very bad choice in this case

[honest epoch]

yeah when i look something up i get bombarded by things i dont know

and when i search those things even more things popup

[honest epoch]

what do i do from here?

[clear ether]

remove all lines that say wacom

[short yew]

I'd recommend using a different distro

[honest epoch]

alright did that now how do i save the changes?

or exit

[clear ether]

ctrl + x
y, enter

[honest epoch]

ty but tablet still doesnt work

[clear ether]

modprobe wacom

[short yew]

start. reading.

[clear ether]

did you sudo nano?

[honest epoch]

yes

[honest epoch]

i saw those i just didnt know the keys to do those

[clear ether]

if modprobe didn't work, try relogging, if that didn't work, reboot

also sudo modprobe wacom

i forgor about perms

[honest epoch]

TY it now works

[clear ether]

so, an explanation if you wanted; you blacklisted the driver/module being loaded and that prevented the device from working

[honest epoch]

Yeah thanks since i dont really know much except paru and the basic stuff i was clueless

[clear ether]

if you're a regular user i can't blame you for wanting a normal desktop usage but be careful with commands

we all start somewhere, and it's good to have friends that help out ^^

[honest epoch]

lol there would be a time where i understand how to do stuff by myself thanks again

[brittle charm]

snaiil. received a thank you cookie!
