I had recently bought a WACOM One tablet pen, and I couldn't get it to work on Ubuntu (with gnome). I had installed the driver using the command:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom
The moment I had done that I restarted the system. But after booting, no input devices were working. So I had to reboot again, and go into recovery mode to reinstall all the input drivers using the command:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-all
Later, I was able to get the keyboard and mouse working, but I still cannot get the tablet working.
Command:
lsmod | grep wacom
Output:
wacom 106496 0
usbhid 49152 1 wacom
hid 118784 3 hid_generic,usbhid,wacom
Command:
xsetwacom --list devices
Output: (nothing got displayed).
Command:

I had also tried reinstalling and restarting using the command:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-wacom
and it still does not work. What I am supposed to do now?
I'm not sure what kernel version you are running, but most likely you need to update your input-wacom kernel driver ( https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source ) not your Wacom X server driver.
