Xubuntu 16.10 doesn't work with Huion H610 Pro and Krita / pen pressure issues

Asked by furiousgraffiti on 2017-02-15

Thanks for reading my post.

Linux cookie 4.8.0-37-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 26 02:27:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Xubuntu 16.10

Out of the box Xubuntu 16.10 was able to works with my graphic tablet but...

The problem is I can only move a cursor. I can't use pressure levels, buttons in any application. Tablet works on Windows 7 with Huion's driver pretty well, I've just wanted move my digital life on gnu/linux :D

I've tried with Krita and GIMP, both can't work right with my Huion.

Things I've tried too:
- DIGImend drivers - installing 6.0v by dkms, compiling (like as in readme) 5.0v and 6.0v by "make" and installing by "make install", after every driver's installation I've been unplugging and plugging a tablet again, if didn't work -> rebooting, opening Krita again and if still haven't worked just "make uninstall" in source's folder (like as in readme) (mehhh it didn't help)

- "How to make my Huion tablet work with Krita on Linux?" paragraph from "https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#What_if_your_tablet_is_not_recognized_by_Krita.3F" (doesn't work)

The interesting fact is a module (called hid-uclogic in 6.0v) didn't run automatically, I've had to run it manually by "modprobe hid-uclogic"

I will put below logs generated while I used this support page (https://digimend.github.io/support/howto/trbl/locating_failure/#tablet-hardware)

Everything in logs look ok (at least for me) and I've came to this sentence "If you still can’t figure it out, check if you only get problems in applications using the same toolkit, i.e. GTK or Qt."

Well, I use Krita and a little bit GIMP, maybe it's the problem - I really hope it's not, I love Krita (since I've installed it on Windows) and Xubuntu, ain't wanna go to other distro mehhhh :/
