Pen working in Windows, not in Ubuntu

[fabioschoen]

I have successfully isntalled OpenBoard 1.7.3 both on Windows and on Ubuntu 24.10 on my LENOVO Yoga 2 in 1 laptop.

I have tested some pens: with the Lenovo slim pen (an horrible pen imho) it works, both in windows and in ubuntu.
With the classical BAMBOO pen, everything is ok in windows, but when I go to Ubuntu the pen automatically selects, always, the eraser, and I cannot write anything.... I tried also another pen, a much newer one, supporting many protocols, (Lazarite M pen) and the same happens

If I write with my finger, no problem in both Operating Systems...

Has anybody experienced a similar situation? Any help from the community?
Many thanks

Questions:

• Does it work with other similar applications on Ubuntu? E.g. with Xournal++?
• Please check all settings in the tablet configuration. Anything here?
• X11 or Wayland?
