Huion Kamvas not showing up in OpenTabletDriver / system setting on Bazzite

General

Hi! Just switched to Bazzite from Fedora when I got a new PC last week. So far it has been very, very good but I can’t get my Huion Kamvas pen tablet display to work.

It shows up as

Bus 001 Device 017: ID 256c:006d HUION Huion Tablet_GS1331

when I lsusb but the display just turns off again after showing the logo briefly and neither the Plasma system settings nor the OpenTabletDriver recognize the tablet (libinput doesn’t seem see it, either).

@safonas can you chime in on this? You installed OpenTabletDriver for your distro and it just worked? I think I installed OTD via ujust on Bazzite IIRC (which installed it via Arch on distrobox?).

On Fedora I installed the official driver by running the ./install.sh from the official download but this doesn’t work here, or is there a way?

How can I check if libwacom sees it?

OpenTabletDriver works best for me, just make sure its daemon is running. In Bazzite, you should be able to run ujust install-opentabletdriver (here’s how it’s configured ).
In Bluefin though, I’ve noticed that I had to unload some other tablet drivers by:

sudo rmmod wacom hid_uclogic

You can backlist them to disable at boot if this works.

Hi, thanks for the answer! So, ujust just installs via distrobox from what I see, I ran the command again, just to be sure.

When I do sudo rmmod wacom hid_uclogic

rmmod: ERROR: Module wacom is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module hid_uclogic is not currently loaded

Is that what we want? Unfortunately, the tablet still just turns itself of after a second.

I’m kinda out of ideas, would layering with rpm-ostree worth a try?

Errors you’re seeing are expected, you don’t want those modules to be running with OpenTablet driver.

Not sure about rpm-ostree, this is a last resort measure for this kind of distros…

Maybe try Flatpak version of the OpenTabletDriver? I used this to install the driver, unload modules and blacklist them on boot:


flatpak install -y net.opentabletdriver.OpenTabletDriver
sudo rmmod wacom hid_uclogic
rpm-ostree kargs --append=modprobe.blacklist=hid_uclogic --append=modprobe.blacklist=wacom

Then reboot and start OpenTabletDriver from the menu.

Hi, thanks for the answer! I since rebased to Fedora Kinoite where my tablet works out of the box (can configure it KDE system settings). Same super nice people on the Ublue Discord tried to pin down what exactly the problem with Bazzite is, if you have any ideas, I’d be grateful if you couls chime in here:

I still have a Bazzite image(? or what is it called?) pinned, could I do the commands you mentioned without affecting my Kinoite install or would e. g. the kargs affect the whole system?
