XP-Pen driver/app is unable to detect device on Ubuntu 22.04

Problem Summary

So, when I connect my Star 03 graphic tablet to the system, the inbuilt wacom drivers in Ubuntu 22.04 kind of detect the device. However, when I install the official driver from the xp-pen website, the accompanying app is unable to detect the device.

Here are some screenshots to explain the issue:

However, XP-Pen official driver app cannot: enter image description here

System Information

Here is the output from xinput:

    ↳ UC-Logic TABLET 1060N Pen                 id=20   [slave  keyboard (3)]

(I have hidden other devices due to privacy concerns)

Now, the XP-PEN entries above came from the official driver, but, the UC-Logic... entry pops up only when I plug in the device.

Potential Solution

Somehow I think the solution involves creating the correct configuration file at: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d where currently the 70-wacom.conf file somehow handles the device. I think we need to create something called xp-pen.conf to handle the device and map it to the official driver/app. (Idea taken from this post!)

Emphasis

The device works as expected under the default wacom driver, I want it to work with the official xp-pen driver

I've had similar problems with Wacom Cintiq pro 24 for several years. At boot up Ubuntu does not recognise any of the pen tools. I discovered a work around - switch off the monitor and on again. Ubuntu then recognises the tools and works fine. Disconnecting and reconnecting your device might wake up the device driver.

It is irritating so if anyone can come up with a better solution I would also be interested.

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.
