Fingerprint Reader
by waleedkh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HMA6)
I have a Lenovo t470 laptop with fingerprint reader and trying to get it to work on Deepin.
I am running Deepin 20.
lsusb detects it as:
Code:Bus 001 Device 006: ID 138a:0097 Validity Sensors, Inc.The fprintd command comes up with no devices available.
waleed@waleed-lenovo:~$ fprintd-enroll
Code:list_devices failed: No devices availableI tried the Ubuntu method of getting the fingerprint working but the packages complained. I am wondering if getting a later version of fprintd will help but Deepin's latest version is
Code:waleed@waleed-lenovo:~$ apt list fprintd
Listing... Done
fprintd/unknown 0.8.2-1+eagle amd64
fprintd/unknown,now 0.8.2-1+eagle i386 [installed,automatic]
any ideas?
Thanks
