I just started the KDE-live-CD (Milestone 4 and 6), then I opened YaST2 and clicked on fingerprint-reader. It starts to open, but then it fails with a message saying something like "there is no fingerprint reader available on your system."

Did you enable to <use finger print reader> in YaST2?

where do I enable this? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is no item "use fingerprint reader" here, so I clicked on "Fingerprint Reader". And then it starts to open but fails with this error message: "Fingerprint reader device is not available on this system." So I can not click on configure. But when I call lsusb I get the following line: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 147e:2016 Upek Biometrik Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor so it seems to be available, only yast doesn't detect it? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The strange thing is, that when I download and compile the development-version from the fprint homepage, the fprint_demo programm works and I can enroll and see my fingerprint. But unfortunately it doesn't work in yast.

I tested it with the various milestones and RCs, but libfprint doesn't seem to be updated, at least it still doesn't work with opensuse 11.3 RC2. Also it is now a bit late to include into 11.3, but it would be cool if at least some additional repository could provide the current version of libfprint, so that it also works with yast. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But I might be mistaken. In case we really need an updated version of libfprint there is not much we can do for 11.3 as we're gold this week. As next steps I recommend the OBS approach and then push it towards FACTORY. That, of course, needs to be tied to an update for hwinfo (additional USB IDs).

In theory, this should be enough to create an OBS project, IIRC. However, I still have some trouble getting the FP reader to work. With the new rpm installed, the yast fingerprint plugin for user management manages to access the FP reader (which is a progress over the old libfprint), but it fails immediately to read the fingerprint. I am a bit lost here - anyone like to help me get that FP reader working? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But I guess you should refrain form submitting this to FACTORY before the more difficult bits are fixed. Otherwise we'll see users who are hoping for a supported fingerprint reader and fail miserably afterwards because a malfunctioning libfprint. re comment 26: Well, this is where debugging starts. It is pretty obvious that the libfprint module responsible for your fingerprint reader device is at fault. Unfortunately this is just a starting point for further investigation. If I recall correctly there exist _different_ UPEK USB devices with the _same_ USB IDs. Probably you have one of those which are unsupported. So this issue might be related. As this is just a wild guess from my side I recommend googling around to look for other users having the same combination of hard- and software (R61, libfprint-0.1.0-pre{1,2}. Maybe this yields something and we can proceed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Regarding the fact that there does not seem to be any development on libfprint, chances are quite low that my FP reader will ever be supported :/ -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
