Bug Description
When using the Wacom pen that was included for the touch screen on my Lenovo Thinkpad P15 Gen1 laptop, the kernel hangs. This worked a few weeks ago. Looking at journalctl after rebooting shows the following two lines:
mar 22 13:26:33 minerva kernel: wacom 0003:056A:
mar 22 13:26:33 minerva kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
This appears to be the following bug, which has already been solved upstream and presumably needs to be backported to Ubuntu 20.04: https:/
