dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
then we need to change some stuff
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
move this folder away from /usr/libs since we will put the udev rules at /etc later

sudo cp -r share /var/usrlocal and sudo cp -r lib /var/usrlocal make sure the file is exist at /var/usrlocal/lib and /var/usrlocal/share
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago

dreamyuki2w ago

im not entirely sure i did that right
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
go to /var/usrlocal and check the file use ls for list all file and directory cd for move from one directory to another directory
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
wait usrlocal isn't the usr folder? im sory im not the quickest
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
/var/usrlocal is the folder for /usr/local we need to put the driver here since /usr/local is not read only
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
so then what did i do wrong with the command line?
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
nothing wrong this is correct command
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
alright then whats next
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
go to folder with udev rules
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
alright i've got that pulled up
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
then run this command sudo cp 20-huion.rules /etc/udev/rules.d

after that reboot to make sure the udev rules is loaded oh also if you use opentabletdriver before make sure to remove the udev rules at /etc/udev/rules.d look for 71-opentabletdriver.rules then carefully delete those file sudo rm 71-opentabletdriver.rules in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder be careful
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
so when i went to run this command the top of the window went red and it didn't do anything
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
maybe you can sent me a screenshot?
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
It immediately switched back to the standard but it didn't prompt anything I noticed that yours is white text then orange and then that green I'm not entirely sure what's going on with this

can you give me output of ls /etc/udev/rules.d and ls /usr/local/lib ?

nice everything is done correctly remove that opentabletdriver udev rules . go to that folder /etc/udev/rules.d cd /etc/udev/rules.d
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
so i typed that last command in i just need to delete opentablet driver.rules im just not sure where that folder is
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/71-opentabletdriver.rules run this command and reboot
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
like reboot the wole computer or just the command window
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
the whole computer
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
Got it computers booted back up
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
then try to open huion driver
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
it says device connected yet not recognized im at least futher along than i was
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
hmmm interesting the udev rules is already installed oh maybe this tablet need X11 session or something but Bazzite already remove X11 session from GNOME and KDE
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
oh
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
for this i can't help any further since the driver by manufacture want X11 or something for the opentabletdriver i suggest to ask them with rpm package from the website opentabletdriver team doesn't support flatpak that we provide with ujust command
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
so my next step is to go to the open tablet team and see if they have a fix for the X11 issue? thanks for your help i really had no idea where to even begin with this
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
https://opentabletdriver.net/Tablets first see if your tablet is supported by opentabletdriver
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
it says it is
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago
if it supported then you can try to install the driver from the website https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux#fedora replace dnf install with rpm-ostree install rpm-ostree install ./OpenTabletDriver.rpm don't forget to remove the udev rules sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/20-huion.rules after that reboot remove the flatpak driver before reboot flatpak remove net.opentabletdriver.OpenTabletDriver
Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
Did all of those in that order now I'm restarting I'm assuming once I get into it boot up open driver and test the tablet i have just made the single biggest mistake when i was backing everything up i unplugged a cable so that driver trick might have worked and i wouldn't have known Thank you again for your help
dreamyuki
dreamyuki2w ago

Gavin Dragon
Gavin DragonOP2w ago
