so just fyi, i dont understand linux that much, im still kinda learning, so sorry if i mess up something.

Anyways, i have a drawing tablet xp-pen star 03, and i tried connecting it to my computer. it works as a mouse, but i expected something, like scrolling using swiping, just like windows has it. i downloaded the drivers, and checked the settings. In the settings, it says that no tablet was detected so i checked other posts and i guess it has something supposted to do with xinput? so heres the thing that it said

⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-pointer:17                       id=6    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:17              id=7    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-pointer-gestures:17              id=8    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-tablet stylus:17                 id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-tablet eraser:17                 id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-tablet cursor:17                 id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ xwayland-keyboard:17                      id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]

so if anyone have any idea how this works, or if the stuff that is on windows even works on linux, please let me know. Thanks.

Can you try switching to the X.Org session? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1410256/how-do-i-use-x-instead-of-wayland-on-22-04

Are you sure it works with this version of Ubuntu? How old is the tablet?

@David It should be compatible, it says that it works with Ubuntu 10.10 and above, and its like 3 years old.

The release date for that version 10.10 was 10 October 2010. So I would say the opposite most likely wont work with a current version. That is very old hardware.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
