SOLVED: I had to install the tar.gz which is also available on the xp pen website! (I had always used the RPM). It was hard because even though I’ve been a long time Linux lurker, I had never installed a program this way. So if anyone else has this problem, now you know. After I restarted it loaded correctly, as Iḿ writing I noticed the icon is gone. I’ll keep updating.

Hello guys! After a long time I decided to stick to Fedora as my Linux driver. I tried it last year but switched to Nobara, sadly my last update broke my install and Nobara 43 wasn’t recognized at all by my BIOS. Tried Fedora 43 and it’s all fine… except my drawing tablet :face_without_mouth:
I wrote all this intro to let you know that I’ve succesfully used this tablet and the official xp pen driver with Fedora/Nobara and hadn’t had any problem until now . In fact the tablet (Xp Pen deco 1 v3) worked out of the box after I booted Fedora, but after I installed Krita I noticed the stylus buttons are not mapped correctly, so I went to system settings and try to configure the buttons there, it detects my stylus as a 3 button stylus (I only have 2 buttons), I only could assing the first button as middle click , the other one no matter what I assign to it (I want to assign RMB) always reads on Krita as E (eraser) , I had this issue in all previous installs but it got solved as there is an official XP Pen driver for Linux (fedora rpm) which I succesfully installed on previous Fedora installs. This time got the driver from the XP pen website, marked it as an executable, and tried to install both from discover and Konsole with

sudo dnf install XPPenLinux-4.0.13.251226.rpm

I get this error:

Transacción incorrecta: Transacción rpm incorrecta.
Aviso: comprobante OpenPGP omitido para 1 paquete desde repositorio: @commandline
- el paquete XPPenLinux-4.0-1.el7.x86_64 no verifica: ningún resumen

Sorry it’s in spanish , from what I understand there is something called OpenPGP that’s not present in the rpm. Is there another way to install the driver?

Workarounds I’ve tried: Open tablet driver. Discover won’t install, it stays on queue forever.

Have you tried removing krita to confirm that it was the cause of your problems.?
It seems fedora was able to use the tablet correctly but krita is interfering.

Sorry friend, I noticed the way I wrote it makes it seem Krita is the culprit, I already edited for clarification, I meant to say that after I installed Krita I noticed the stylus buttons are not mapped correctly, I’ve done more experimentation and notice that I can only set the stylus button 1 correctly, I can assign it to whatever I want , but the others not, no matter what function I assign in system settings, drawing tablet, the system detects it as an erasing button.
