[Bug 1212071] New: Aeon: Fingerprint reader not supported out of the box
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212071 Bug ID: 1212071 Summary: Aeon: Fingerprint reader not supported out of the box Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: MicroOS Assignee: kubic-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: 0xdopice@protonmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- I've seen this being discussed briefly in Matrix/Telegram (Telegram link: https://t.me/openSUSE_Aeon/31932) but can't find any "this is how we'll do it", so hence this report. Summary Packages fprintd and fprintd-pam are "missing" in a default install of Aeon. Why would we include it? - Since we install all kernel firmware packages the fingerprint readers are there and ready to be used. The only thing missing is the two above packages. This give the option Fingerprint Login under Settings > User. - It improves the user friendliness which allows the user to enroll fingerprints out of the box without adding extra packages. Why wouldn't we include it? - Not all systems have fingerprint readers - Users don't want to use biometric auth even if it's available -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I'm not proposing we do this, just that someone might reference this if implemented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It's like the Camera, it's not always required, but Aeon include the necessary packages to support it out of the box. Smart card & Yubikeys are rarely sell with the laptop/computer, it's an important distinction I think. If the final decision is to not add fprintd packages, may be a Guide documentation could be added to explain how to install them manually, so this will works correctly like most of the others GNU/Linux distributions? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
