I'm having difficulties with Krita 2.8.5 on a HP2730P (has integrated Wacom screen) running Ubuntu 14.04 LTE with a Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics driver.

#1 - I uninstalled Krita 2.8.5 (as required for an upgrade) & re-installed it in hopes of getting the latest Krita release 2.9 using the Linux commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install krita

After all that I still only have Krita 2.8.5

#2 - MOST ANNOYING: Drawing with a stylus is not working well. I am trying to draw with my stylus and can only draw one line, then need to click on the layer again to make it active before drawing another line segment. I can draw with the cursor (who wants to if you have a stylus?) then lift off the screen & immediately draw another line segment.

I also re-calibrated my Wacom screen but it only solved the problem for about 4 pen strokes before flaking out again. I can't work like this.

Anyone having the same issues with Krita on Linux?

Hi,

Ubuntu 14.4 users probably had better use our own ppa, since Kubuntu doesn't build Krita 2.9 for 14.4 LTS: https://launchpad.net/~dimula73/+archive/ubuntu/krita . That should also fix your stylus issues.
