1. Connect your XP-Pen product into computer
2. Open driver folder then click right button – Properties on Pentablet_Driver.sh.
3. Go to Permissions tab then make sure enable “Allow executing file as program” function.
4. Run terminal from the folder where is your downloaded extracted driver
5. Run: sudo ./Pentablet_Driver.sh

The command "sudo ./Pentablet_Driver.sh" needs to be run in terminal everytime after pc or application restarts.

To do more easy to launch the driver create a desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications

The file can named : xp-pen.desktop with its in :

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY sh -c "/Path/To/Driver/Linux_Pentablet_V1.2.13.1/Pentablet_Driver.sh"
MimeType=application/x-your-mime-type;
Icon=/home/username/.icons/xp-pen.png
X-DocPath=
Terminal=false
Name=XP-Pen
GenericName=XP-Pen
Comment=xp-pen driver for xp-pen pad and pen
Categories=Graphics;2DGraphics;RasterGraphics;Utility;

Don't forgot to change "/Path/To/Driver/Linux_Pentablet_V1.2.13.1/" and "username" by yours

Add an icon in ~/.icons named xp-pen.png : https://i.postimg.cc/FzSVY8Vt/xp-pen.png

And after to do it, it's more easy to use the tablet.

For me i add my desktop file in my latte-dock to be more easy to use.
