wacom bamboo ink plus won't stay connected to Bluetooth on Ubuntu 22.04

My wacom bamboo ink plus won't stay connected to Bluetooth on Ubuntu 22.04. If I put the Wacom into pairing mode it is identified and I can connect it, but it then immediately disconnects.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7306 2in1, it is dual boot between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. The same hardware works fine on Windows 11, with the Wacom connected by Bluetooth.I therefore believe this issue to be software rather than hardware related.

I have the following Wacom related packages/libraries installed to support the pen;

  • libwacom-bin 2.2.0-1
  • libwacom-common 2.2.0-1
  • libwacom9 2.2.0-1
  • xserver-xorg-input-wacom 1.0.0-3ubuntu1

I have the following Bluetooth related packages/libraries installed;

  • bluez 5.64-0ubuntu1
  • bluez-cups 5.64-0ubuntu1
  • bluez-obexd 5.64-0ubuntu1
  • gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-3.0 42.0-5
  • gnome-bluetooth 3.34.5-8
  • gnome-bluetooth-3-common 42.0-5
  • gnome-bluetooth-common 3.34.5-8
  • libbluetooth3 5.64-0ubuntu1
  • libgnome-bluetooth-3.0-13 42.0-5
  • libgnome-bluetooth13 3.34.5-8
  • libldacbt-enc2 2.0.2.3+git20200429+ed310a0-4
  • pulseaudio-module-bluetooth 15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2

Currently the stylus acts like a mouse, it is not pressure sensitive, and to write with it, I have to hold down the equivalent of the left mouse button.

Any pointer on how I can get this stylus working properly under Ubuntu, would be gratefully received.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
