Gaomon Drawing Tablet driver

Is it possible to install this driver? (M10K 2018) https://download.gaomon.net/plus/list.php?cateId=10&type=0&system=linux&Keyword=&tid=9#pcb There is a .tar.xz and a .deb I tried running the first one's install.sh, but it failed

GaomonTablet_LinuxDriver_v16.0.0.05$ sudo sh install.sh 
/var/home/dd/Downloads/Librewolf/GaomonTablet_LinuxDriver_v16.0.0.05/.
cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/udev/rules.d/20-gaomon.rules': Read-only file system
/usr/lib
./gaomon/gaomontablet
cp: cannot create directory '/usr/lib/gaomontablet': Read-only file system
can not find start script

I tried installing the second one in a debian distrobox, and when I run the app (with the tablet plugged in), KDE suddenly detects 3 tablets in in settings, but the tablet remains unusable. I thought reading the contents of the install.sh script to install it locally and not system wide, but I don't really understand everything and I don't know if that's a good idea. I linked the script nonetheless.
OpenTabletDriver (flatpak or arch app in distrobox) doesn't detect anything.

then why doesn't it detect it?

dreamyuki•2mo ago

okay this sounds dumb but can you copy udev rules 20-gaomon.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d ? then reboot

δDDOP•2mo ago

sure let me try

sudo cp ./gaomon/gaomontablet/res/rule/20-gaomon.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

sudo cp ./gaomon/gaomontablet/res/rule/20-gaomon.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

nothing has changed

hmmm unfortunately i can't help you any further since the driver is not packaged as rpm maybe you can report the issue to opentabletdriver? also you can layer opentabletdriver rpm package and see if it changes anything they have a discord i think for opentabletdriver
