Pen not detected -XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro

[coffseducation]

I have now managed to get the config gui to launch - but now the pen is no longer detected!
I have all this going on:

Does the pen work before you run the daemon? Does it stop working after running the daemon?

[coffseducation]

Neither before or after.

[kurikaesu]

With the daemon running, could you in a terminal do:

sudo evtest

It should list a bunch of devices that you can "test". Pick the Pen Tablet device. It should be labelled XP-Pen instead of Ugee. If it says something like Ugee instead of XP-Pen then there is a different problem altogether.

Once it's done spitting out information, try using the pen on the screen and see if it is emitting messages like EV_ABS etc.
If it does, then the driver should be working but something else may be interfering with it.

[coffseducation]

$ sudo evtest
[sudo] password for anarcho:
sudo: evtest: command not found

[kurikaesu]

You will need to install evtest with sudo apt install evtest

[coffseducation]

Thanks.

I selected both 5 and 6 and the pen is still not working.

There shouldn't be two of the exact same device showing up.
At most, the second XP-Pen device should have a "Pad" description to refer to the shortcut keys/buttons available surrounding the display.

Can you check to see if you are accidentally running the driver twice?

[coffseducation]

In System Activity there appears to be only one.

[kurikaesu]

Ok, looks like only one instance is running. If you stop the driver daemon then run sudo evtest again, do both entries for the XP-Pen tablet disappear?

[coffseducation]

ok, so I got some different options:

dev/input/event23: XP-PEN Artist22E Pro Stylus
/dev/input/event24: XP-PEN Artist22E Pro
/dev/input/event3: Video Bus
/dev/input/event4: Video Bus
/dev/input/event7: XP-PEN Artist22E Pro Mouse
/dev/input/event8: XP-PEN Artist22E Pro Keyboard

I tried all but still not pen detection. ; /

Odd that the device is able to display its proper name. Had to check to see if they had merged in my kernel code but that doesn't seem to be the case just yet: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/2068502.VLH7GnMWUR@adrastea/T/#ma508e0882c4d8b12bb520c11de73d7e84138f065

There is a bug in the daemon code that is causing the "Pad" to not be named properly which I will fix shortly. This does not fix your issue yet though.

In order to debug this a bit further, you'll need to get some of the raw USB dumps by copying these commented out lines:
https://github.com/kurikaesu/userspace-tablet-driver-daemon/blob/main/src/huion_tablet.cpp#L302-L306

And placing them just above this line:
https://github.com/kurikaesu/userspace-tablet-driver-daemon/blob/main/src/artist_22e_pro.cpp#L84

After compiling the code and running it, trying to draw on the tablet surface will cause the driver to start spitting out raw message dumps.

Could you please see if it is dumping those messages and paste a small snippet of them here if possible?

[coffseducation]

Ok.
I was going through the gui files! Ugh!
I installed with the deb. Where can I locate [artist_22e_pro.cpp#L84] in the file system?

[kurikaesu]

It doesn't exist on the filesystem if you use the debian package. You will need to clone it directly from the Github repository.
