Krita: 5.3.2.1 (I tried the AppImage and Flatpack version)  
OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS  
Tablet: XP Pen Artist Pro 16" Display (Gen 2)  
Pilot: XPPen Linux 4.0.13-251226

Hello everyone!

I have an issue with Krita right now, I can’t use my tablet to draw with it.  
Here what happen:

I can use my tablet with no issues everywhere (Magma on Firefox, or Gimp for example), the pressure is recognized and all.

But as soon as I use my pen on Krita, it is detected by Krita as a “”[] Leave “” command.  
It’s a log found with the “Log Viewer”

It’s the first time I meet this issue, I just had to reinstall everything recently (OS and all).

Thanks for reading!

This is an xwayland bug [Touchscreen stylus not working on Gnome 50](https://krita-artists.org/t/touchscreen-stylus-not-working-on-gnome-50/182066)

Thank you, indeed I’m also with this version of XWayland.  
Do you have any ideas on how to proceed a rollback on this package?

It appear they removed the 24.1.9 from the repo.

Found it!

So, indeed! It was a bug with Xwayland. It is corrected when you follow those intructions:

> [@Krita 5.3 on ubuntu 26.04 wacom not working](https://krita-artists.org/t/krita-5-3-on-ubuntu-26-04-wacom-not-working/183761/14):
>
> I have a solution, the analysis was right, xwayland was the issue, for some reason I cannot download it via “sudo apt-get install xwayland=2:24.1.9-1” But i managed to download the .deb and run it with “sudo dpkg -i xwayland\_24.1.9-1\_amd64.deb” Krita works now. Now I just hope it didn’t break something else.

Thank again!

Small addon to the solition, I suggest downloading [2:24.1.12-1 : xwayland package : Ubuntu](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xwayland/2:24.1.12-1) instead of going back to 2:24.1.9.-1, sounds like this version won’t be officially implemented in ubuntu 26.04, but in 26.10, but it works ok with 26.04, and using a newer version means it won’t “upgrade” to 2:24.1.10-1 every time you run an update on ubuntu.
