Archlinux sway wayland + Huion Kamvas Pro16, I don't understand how to make my display to work | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

Introduction:

Hi people, I have an issue, I have a display tablet, but I am unable to use the display of my graphic tablet. Both OpenTabletDriver and wdisplay seems to think it's a screenless tablet.
However, the pen itself works very well, I could use it as a screenless graphic tablet, but being a 15inches display tablet, the surface is kind of too big to be used conveniently as a screenless tablet (plus I kinda paid for it so...)

Context:

I am studying digital arts to become an artist, but Windows is getting broken in my computer. I had many issue and lost my datas many times, so I decided to give a try to Linux. Two weeks ago, I tried Linux Mint, but I had trouble with OTD (opentabletdriver). A friend told me I should try Archlinux and they can help me to configure it, so I gave Archlinux a try.

I really love archlinux so far, it feels so simple and reliable compared to that cancer of Win11 that keeps bloating for no reasons. And oh hell I am not going back to Windows any soon. I would take my time to learn the commands gradually as I use it, but I kinda need my tablet to work the sooner as possible.

Can someone help me?
I really just wanna be able to draw again

My settup:

Graphic Tablet:
Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (2.5k)
Resolution 2560x1440p

When I did `[ sea@archlinux ~ ]$ fastfetch`: 
 - my tablet was turned on and connected,
 - both otd-daemon and OTD was running,
 - I have been able to draw on krita with my tablet's pen... except that the display on my tablet still never work

Troubleshooting:
 
 - I verified all my cables and make sure they are all properly connected
 - My tablet is NOT damaged
 - I have installed Open Tablet Driver and otd-daemon
 - I am very not familiar with Linux and I don't know many of the most basics commands
 - I have read `man 5 sway` many times but I don't really understand it clearly, me being unfamiliar with Linux

 Please, feel free to ping me
 Thank you for the help!

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:05 AM

#

Nope but they have to get it from aur

@warm turret Hey how about i try to help first and you can help her letter if my help doesn't work?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:11 AM

Huion tablet has proven less reliable than OTD so far when I tried on Linux Mint

#

And yet Linux mint do not support otd

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

normal star Huion tablet has proven less reliable than OTD so far when I tried on Linux Mint

Huiontablet driver will work

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:14 AM

It's out-of date

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:14 AM

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

normal star

#

2024-07-05

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:14 AM

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

normal star I think I installed it already

Put this and enter

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:16 AM

Tablet?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

hmmm my tablet still have the same issue

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

normal star hmmm my tablet still have the same issue

Ok so the newer version of driver is in .deb format

#

Why

#

We can install .deb version in arch too

#

It does

#

@normal star yeah download this one

#

Also what do you see in display settings do you see 2 display?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

It's here in my download foldier

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

normal star It's here in my download foldier

Extrate it ig

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

Still, the bug is weird because on Windows and on Linux Mint the display was automatically working as a display without even instally any drivers - just the tablet that was not working

#

like to draw

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

yeah extrate it and then open the terminal in that folder

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

bcz linux mint have some drivers installed unlike pure arch that your friend told you to install

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

So maybe it's a display driver that is missing?

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

normal star So maybe it's a display driver that is missing?

can you first install this huion driver

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

swift tartan yeah extrate it and then open the terminal in that folder

How do I extract it by the way
I feel like I have nothing to extract

#

wait did I needed to reboot?

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

no

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

normal star How do I extract it by the way I feel like I have nothing to extract

install ark then

#

sudo pacman -S ark

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

normal star So maybe it's a display driver that is missing?

do you have nvidia card?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

How I copy/past?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

swift tartan do you have nvidia card?

yes

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

and nvidia drivers installed?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

yes, there's 4 local driver

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

swift tartan and nvidia drivers installed?

I remember having installed it but I don't see it

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

normal star I remember having installed it but I don't see it

you can confirm it by running nvidia-smi

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:31 AM

#

ok

#

yes I have it

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

ok install the huion drivers then

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:34 AM

#

ok it's extracted

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:34 AM

#

normal star ok it's extracted

go into the folder and open the terminal there

#

then run sudo ./install.sh

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

Can't I do something like [ sea@archlinux ~ ]$ pc ~/home/sea/Documents too?

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

normal star Can't I do something like `[ sea@archlinux ~ ]$ pc ~/home/sea/Documents` too?

yeah can do that too but going into the folder and running terminal there is just easy also it's cd not pc

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

oh alright

#

It says terminal emulator is not set

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

you can set that in settings app

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

normal star It says `terminal emulator is not set`

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

It was already set with Foot Client, I have set it with Kitty but it still saying it's not set

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

ok then just run the terminal and use cd to the folder

#

cd Documents/HuionTablet_LinuxDriver_v15.0.0.162.x86_64, will work i guess you don't need to put home

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

My computer just crashed and did a reboot

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

normal star My computer just crashed and did a reboot

crashed when installing driver?

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

Yes

#

I will retry

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:50 AM

#

normal star I will retry

maybe the driver is faulty

#

why

#

then why did you suggest this

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

The driver?

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

it would have been better if she tryed installing the .deb pkg

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

The .deb pkg never really worked on Mint

warm turret Sep 17, 2024, 2:55 AM

#

mint has support for wayland fyi

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

but i have a drawing tablet too that relies on x11 but works in wayland over xwayland or something idk

#

not display

warm turret Sep 17, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

soon to be

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

swift tartan not display

My dablet works, but not the display

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

but i think display is a separate part then the drawing surface so i guess wayland can provide the display to it

normal star Sep 17, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

And yes now the Huion driver is installed and works but still no display on my tablet

swift tartan Sep 17, 2024, 2:58 AM

Hi, before starting to reset Arch or to install a new OS, I have realized that my BIOS is just simply inaccessible.
I just have a black screen with a cursor completely in top left of the screen that doesn't react to anything
I already tried systemctl reboot --firmware-setup but it was not a success

#

I guess some people already had this trouble, I will check for similar issue in the previous threads

In linux on terminal you copy by ctrl+shift+c and pest by ctrl+shift+v, you would have a easier time in a DE as a new user then WM

Good news: I have recovered the access of BIOS by removing the battery and a lot of hard reboots during POST

Bad news: my ssd card has died
