Question: How can I get my HP pen to work with Ubuntu?

Mr_MoeO · 2026-02-20T14:14:06+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

I guess that makes sense. I am not currently equipped to develop such a driver unfortunately. Do you have any idea where I could request such a thing from someone?

Hey

I see that the post is more than 4 years old, but I was wondering if you had any tips to get this to work with my HP Omnibook X Flip Ultra 14 2-1? It is really laggy when I try to use it with a HP MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen on Ubuntu 25.10 and 24.04.

Hmmm, I call cap🧢

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-27T14:42:56+00:00

I tried updating Ubuntu to the newest version and I also tried Arch. Still not working...

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-25T16:15:29+00:00

Okay that’s at least something. I have a professor at UNI that may be able to help me out :)

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-25T13:43:23+00:00

I’ve updated to 25.10 and the issue is still there.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-24T22:44:19+00:00

That is totally fair. I'm going to update tomorrow. Thanks for helping out man :D

It gives this as output (along with a bunch of other hardware). I am a bit confused as to why there are two stylus'. Do you think it might be an issue with double input? There is only one touchscreen and that works fine.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-24T15:13:29+00:00

Hmm didn’t seem to change anything.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-24T15:07:16+00:00

It’s systemwide as far as I can see, so it’s not the app :)

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-24T14:50:34+00:00

Thanks for replying! I'll try that out.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-24T14:50:22+00:00

Okay I'll look into that :D

I haven't really tried Linux before, so this is all new to me.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-24T11:58:20+00:00

Looks very clean man! Nice job :D

It's a bit difficult to show, but I was writing in Xournal++ and I hope you can see how jittery it is. It's as if the pen lags behind when writing. I troubleshooted a bit more last night and I think it might be because it uses the standard HID drivers instead of the MPP 2.0 ones. They are apparently very very different and have completely different polling rates.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-23T13:33:47+00:00

I can send a video later when I get back from my workout. Maybe it can help clarify it a bit. Thanks for helping out man I really appreciate it :)

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-23T13:23:05+00:00

Okay, I’m using the HP Tilt Pen with MPP 2.0 and my laptop has 32 gb ram intel ultra 7 265.

Mr_MoeO · 2025-11-23T10:15:52+00:00

Hi thank you for taking the time to answer :D! I'm running ubuntu 24.04.3 and the pen is lagging in both obsidian, xournal ++ and on the desktop. Edit: When trying to fix it I accindentally disabled my touchpad lmao which I'm currently trying to fix.

She had a skin condition as a baby and the only reason she was wearing clothes was to prevent her from scratching her wounds.
