Bug Description
I have the same problem with Ubuntu 18.04 developing branch as described for Ubuntu 16.04 in
https:/
I can draw, e.g., with tuxpaint, I can use stylus and graphic tablet "Wacom Intuos Art Black Pen + Touch S" like a touchpad with mouse (left, muddle, right button), but I cannot access the pad via Settings > Devices > Wacom Tablet: "Stylus not recognized". So, no reprogramming of stylus buttons and tablet buttons :(
Hopefully this will be resolved till the final version of 18.04 in April?

No access to the pad device on the other hand is not an issue I'm familiar with. The old unity-control-

linuxcub: You should have both a "Stylus" and "Tablet" button at the top of the Wacom control panel, next to "Test your Settings". The "Stylus" button shows "Stylus not Recognized", but what message appears when the "Tablet" button is pressed? Or are the buttons missing? That might give a place to start digging...

No, I don't! My Wacom looks like this
http://
"About Wacom Intuos"
" >> Assign Settings in Wacom Tablet Properties" shows the stylus with its two buttons
The tablet has 4 buttons, at each top corner, two on the left, two on the right. If I press one of teh bottons, a menu appears, like "Show onscreen help, assign keystroke, etc."
I'll attach screenshots from my Ubuntu with the next post.

Usually I use my Wacom Intuos CTH-450/K with Gimp. Now I tested it with Krita. Seems that all functions of the board are supported, including varying line width with varying stylus pressure. But only after I installed gnome, see above https:/
This will still give the developers something to work till April.

Same with me, on two different CPUs (old 2009 macbook and an amd desktop) both running 18.04.
Linux MyCPU 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 16 12:15:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Also tried the reinstall thingy as suggested in post#2 with no difference.

I have check this with latest installation image of 18.10. The situation is even worse there. Attempt to detect a stylus crashes the ubuntu session in 18.10.

This is definitely not a ubuntu specific bug.
With
056a:00d1 Wacom Co., Ltd Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH-460-DE)
056a:00d1 Wacom Co., Ltd Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH-460-DE)
it reproducible also with Gentoo ~amd64 (based on gnome 3.24) as well as 18.04.
At the same time I have Lenovo Yoga 2nd gen laptop with integrated wacom device and the stylus is recognizable there (with 18.04).
It looks like this is a linuxwacom bug related with some models of tablets.

since upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 I have this issue.
gnome desktop on xorg
intuos CTH-480M-S
on startup tablet is in absolute mode, i have to open settings wacom tablet -> stylus not recognised;
if just clicking on tablet tab button, the tablet switches back to the set setting (relative).
I had restarted with an older kernel & it was the same so I'd thought it is a ubuntu issue related top 18.04. I 'll double check that though.

I just attempted the upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 and have this issue as well.
Default Ubuntu desktop (gnome desktop on xorg)
Cintiq Companion Hybrid 13HD (DTH-A1300)
Since the update, I have no touch nor stylus input, nor are the hardware buttons detected when pressed.
In Gnome control center's Wacom Settings Applet, no stylus is detected, but the tablet is detected.
I cannot remap inputs or calibrate the stylus because they are not detected.

if that's still an issue for some configs on Ubuntu (GNOME) 18.04/18.10 the best would be to report it upstream on https:/
My solution, sort of:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ubuntu-
sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-control-
Reboot, login into 'Gnome on xorg', Wacom now programmable with Settings > Devices > Wacom Tablet
Log out, login on 'Ubuntu', now Ubuntu does it too :)
