Unable to get fprintd-enroll to work
by camorri from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CKFG)
As the title says, frprintd-enroll fails to enroll any finger.
I have checked the libfprint list of supported devices, and my device is supported.
The scanner is:
Code:EgisTec Touch Fingerprint Sensor
Manufacturer: EgisTec
Serial No.: GEA259CA
Class
0
((Defined at Interface level))
Subclass
0
Protocol
0
USB Version
1.10
Vendor ID
0x1c7a
(LighTuning Technology Inc.)
Product ID
0x0570
Speed
12 Mbit/s
Channels
0
Max. Packet Size
8When I run fprint-enroll, I get a pop up for my user password. I enter it and the following is what I get.
Code:fprintd-enroll
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right-index-finger finger.
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scanThere is 1 line for each finger scan, so I believe the scanner is generating data, however, nothing is stored.
I used slackbuilds to install the followig:
libgusb-0.4.6-x86_64-1_SBo
libfprint-1.94.2-x86_64-2_SBo
fprintd-1.94.2-x86_64-2_SBo
This is on current, on a Acer Swift SF314-52.
I edited /etc/pam.d/sddm and /etc/pam.d/kde and placed
Code:auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so thes lines at the top of the two files.
Any thoughts on why I can not enroll a finger?
