Hi all,
I’ve just finished my first foray into Debian packaging, and hence a PPA is now available at http://launchpad.net/akdor1154/gfxtablet. You can add it to your Ubuntu system with
```
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:akdor1154/gfxtablet
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install networktablet
```
It’s identical to what is in rfc2822’s master repository. Currently it needs to be run as root (or else grant your user access to /dev/uinput) but I intend on fixing this.

I had the same symptoms. Try the changes to the code I made in pull request 95. It uses a newer Linux API to register the device, and libinput seems happy with it now, so it works in gimp and inkscape.

@HoDANG said in Google has removed GfxTablet from Google Play:

I guess it’s just a security thing that they have to send out to every app

They didn’t just send out something, but they have removed GfxTablet from Play Store.

because there will be some people out there that will try and steal users money through phishing links. Security is a very important thing.

I guess it’s because they like to bind users and developers to Google Play, so that people will always have to use proprietary Google services (like in-app payment) when they want to use (otherwise open-source) Android. So,
apps can’t be sold in other app stores anymore (because the payments are bound to Google), and Google gets 30 % of all payments (even donations), and the open-source Android becomes a more-or-less worthless vehicle to drive users to proprietary Google services.
Perfectly OK from an economic point of view, but I don’t have to like that.

Hi I am on ubuntu 19.04 I have the application working via sudo ./networktablet command flawlessly, yet I can make desktop icons for ubuntu, but never had to try with a sudo command or any other command to open an application I am new to linux so confused, after scouring forever looking and trying 10’s of ways I cannot get it to open well it does but as a file to edit in a text editor rather than as a sudo terminal command, I really want gfxtablet incorporated in my custom os so I can open it from an icon but need your help please anyone if you can assist in making the app into a desktop icon for ubuntu would be great.
