System Settings crashes when clicking on Pen & Drawing #83

What Happened?

System Settings quits and dumps core when I go to Pen & Drawing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open System Settings
  2. Go to Pen & Drawing. It should crash when you click it.

Expected Behavior

Later I found that deleting the cache folder at ~/.cache/io.elementary.settings/ makes it work, but only once; it crashes again after reopening System Settings.

The cache file at ~/.cache/io.elementary.settings/wacom/devices contains this:

[056a:037a]
Styli=Generic;

And there is nothing else in that folder. The error message (see below) references a missing file/directory at ~/.cache/io.elementary.settings/wacom/tools, and it's really not there.

Installed package versions:

  • io.elementary.settings: 8.0.3~r1431+pkg88~ubuntu8.1
  • io.elementary.settings.wacom: 8.0.2+r453+pkg7~ubuntu24.04.1

Journald logs a core dump, which you can find here (near the bottom): journald.log

I'm also attaching the output of G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all io.elementary.settings: elementary-settings.log
