For reference I am using:
XOPPOX D161 Drawing Tablet with Screen 15.6 Inch Graphics Monitor
GIMP 2.10.36
Windows 10
Here is what I did to solve the problem:
Edit > Input Devices
I selected all of the devices that are associated with my tablet, which are listed FOR ME as "Pen Tablet Eraser", "Pen Tablet Pressure Stylus", and "Pen Tablet Puck". These options may appear slightly different depending on your tablet, but are essentially the same.
Under "Mode" change the option from "Disabled" to "Screen" for each device. Then obviously click "Save". This fixed my issue with the cursor not wanting to go onto the canvas for me.
For me, I also had the issue of it still not actually drawing anything even though the cursor finally would go onto the canvas. To fix this, I selected the "Channels" tab on the right side of the screen by default, and selected "Red", "Green", "Blue", and "Alpha" by clicking on each once. Doing this allowed me to finally draw.
Hope this helps someone.
Having the channels deselected is not normal... I assume this state is saved in the XCF but if you create an image from scratch (or load a JPG/PNG) these channels should be all selected by default. Is it the case?
