The problem is that I have not created a PPA for the newer versions of Ubuntu since I do not use it myself any more. One would have to have a artful installation around. In principle one can just use the latest package there and upload it again. I doubt that I will find time to do this soon, to please just install from source.

Installed it from source, works fine - if you switch the UI back to xorg (from wayland). I tried adapting the regexes that determine the devices, but with xinput commands simply not working this turned out to be a can of worms - and reverting to xorg was just the lazy man's simple solution.

See #141, Wayland pretty much breaks everything we currently have. And I have no concrete plans to support Wayland yet.
