Arch Linux User Repository

Seems like there's a new version v15.0.0.103.202208301443 @ https://www.huion.com/dowload/driver-update-log.html

But it is only compatible with a select few new devices, lock the huiontablet package to v15.0.0.89.202205241352 if you're not using one of those I guess.

I'll probably split this package up if more releases like this with different device support continue. (Huion please make this easier for me)

20230204-EDIT: Added v15.0.0.107.202209081050 and v15.0.0.121.202301131103, once again compatibility among devices seems to be iffy, check the driver update log and see which one works best for you. Also god dammit Huion, why are you silently changing peoples wayland sessions to x11, and the script they wrote only works on GDM!!

for all users, follow this easy guide for any update:

install dpkg(debian package manager) (optional)

find your tablet driver in Huion official site, on linux use "older updates" will be a same updated driver but tar.xz

extract all

go in the folder

[ IF you have just installed from aur via terminal or manjaro packmanager, or just have to update: uninstall it. sudo ./uninstall.sh ]

and: sudo ./install.sh

restart

and give permission: sudo chown -R youruser /usr/lib/huiontablet/*

wait some seconds. Enjoy.

thanks to @VtL and @IhorKovt

@rich52, u can download from site tar.xz file (near download button click older versions) extract and u will find driver installer guide, or long story short in the folder write : sudo ./install.sh and thats it :)

Huiontablet-linux driver is now available (newest version 15.0.0.162) for deb/ubuntu. Please update if possible. Date: 2024-07-05

This software is not functional as it normally is originally in the Debian package. Changing the function of the keys, wheel, roller, tactile strip or pen does not affect the operation in any way, it only appears as adjusted, but remains original in practice

Here sharing my fork.
Tested by my Huion GC710 tablet on KDE Wayland and X11
Key mapping issue is fixed
To use krita right click feature, need to enable "Settings --- Configure Krita --- Tablet settings --- Use mouse events for right- and middle-clicks (workaround for convertible devices, needs restart)"

How to use PKGBUILD

I have Huion HS64 but the I can't change what the pen buttons do, when I change them in the app nothing actually changes, what can I do to fix this? Running the latest version of the driver.

Fix for not being able to change button or area mapping:

you need to change ownership of the files where it is installed to your user or usergroup

for me that is /usr/lib/huiontablet/*

changing this fixed everything for me, running fine now!

figured this is a permission problem since the program runs in userspace (:

I have HS64 and using v15.0.0.121.202301131103-1 Everything is working perfectly except that I can't change the working area.

Driver is also near completely broken for my Kamvas 13 pro... Tried the latest and 0.89 and I can't remap any buttons, select work areas doesn't do anything (although it does auto map to my primary monitor) and there is no way to calibrate??? How can they claim this as Linux support when it is near useless for a good portion of the userbase...

I've been having this issue in Arch where it won't let me remap which monitor I want. In fact, it doesn't even show any monitors to use. It'll only use my primary monitor.
