Hello list(s), we, together with Florian "Sp1rit" have created packages for "new" libfprint- tod library/fork, which is going to replace current one used in distribution. This library has advantage of loading external drivers as libraries, typically closed source ones. These closed source drivers are soon going to appear on Packman as "libfprint2-tod1-*" packages (the SR is pending). The library source code is located on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/3v1n0/libfprint/-/ tree/tod and is always re-based on current libfprint "upstream". It is also the default one in Ubuntu, Arch and Debian (if i checked correctly). We are able to test the closed source drivers, since we have access to devices using them. However, what we cannot test are fingerprint readers, that are supported directly by libfprint library. For this, i would like to ask anyone, who is using his fingerprint reader on openSUSE Tumbleweed with libfprint library to test with this new library using following steps: 1) Add home:sp1rit:factory repository: :~> sudo zypper ar --refresh --name libfprint-tod https:// download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sp1rit:/factory/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ home:sp1rit:factory.repo 2) Install libfprint-2-2 package from it (and do NOT install libfprint-2- tod1): :~> sudo zypper in --from libfprint-tod libfprint-2-2 fprintd 3) Open one terminal window, su to root and start fprintd in debug mode: :~> su [enter] :~ # env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/libexec/fprintd 4) Open second terminal window and enroll or verify fingerprint (as normal user): :~> fprintd-enroll or :~> fprintd-verify That is all. After this test, please send us output from the terminal window, that you started fprintd in debug mode (step 3) in. You can use https:// paste.opensuse.org/ for that. For switching back to original libfprint, just remove the repository: :~> sudo zypper rr libfprint-tod and install original libfprint :~> sudo zypper in libfprint-2-2 fprintd That should be all. @Fridrich, @Matthias, @Timo: I am CCing you in case you missed discussion that happened on Factory ML. If you have any objection against planned switch, please step up now. We will be doing SR to hardware/libfprint in forthcomming days, when we get some confirmation that it is working correctly for the users using "native" libfprint. Thanks very much to everyone involved for helping openSUSE get better and better! Regards and happy hacking, Gryffus
