I restarted the computer and the pen is working. but buttons on the tablet are not

I don't check the last merge to master branch, and it may can be broken...
You can try old branch - all buttons was worked in it.

Hello and sorry to bother, I get this trying to install it (I'm really new at Ubuntu or any linux distro):

I managed to install it as root (newbie from me) but it's not recognized yet:

@konachan700 Will not compile on kernel 4.18 or later.

(Compiled fine for me on 4.14 though)

@konachan700 The issue is that HID_QUIRK_NO_EMPTY_INPUT was deprecated and doesn't exist in recent kernels anymore ( https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/935088/ ), the solution to make it compile and work again was replacing the following line:

hdev->quirks |= HID_QUIRK_NO_EMPTY_INPUT;

With this
hdev->quirks |= BIT(8);

This should probably work on all kernels so it is safe to change ( HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT could also be renamed to BIT(6) if I am correct, but because I'm not much of a programmer I can't be certain). I don't know if this would mean other parts of the code need to be changed or not btw.

To be honest I started using linux just recently so I have no idea how and where to apply your suggestion, so If anyone test it and works I'd appreciate a guide for dummies.

@LuciusTalane This was not a response to your issue, this was my issue, and a solution for my issue. If you are having the same issue as I am however (failure to compile Q11K driver) the file you need to edit is q11k_device.c.

Hey @Rabcor, I just created a pull request with a potential fix as well. I had the same issue as you.

Credit where credit is due for the fix: DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers@52a69d9

I cant install it too.

I was able to install it... Finally my tablet + pen are recognized by xsetwacom...
The downside is, that nothing else is working anymore...
I was able to use the tablet (on Kubuntu 20.04), but I wasn't able to configure its buttons.. after installation, I couldn't use the tablet anymore (even though it was recognized by xsetwacom), and wifi card, touchpad, and other devices weren't recognized anymore 😭
Please help!

[C-Loftus]

I have the same issue as @harrybo91 Has anyone found a solution to that? It seems that the install script messes with sound / wifi / display (hdmi out) drivers. Is the xorg config changed maybe?
