Hello,

  • OpenMandriva Lx version:
    Latest Rock (5)

  • Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
    KDE

  • Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
    I am wondering if it is possible to get the Framework 13 fingerprint scanner working. On other distros this is a consequence of getting the latest libprintf, etc Anyone else here with a Framework and interested in something similar?

  • Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
    Goodix fingerprint sensor. lsusb shows that the kernel sees it and that it is connected.

Make a package or feature request here. Select new issue and select what you want to do.

Ok, I know you all are really working on the next Rock release, so I’ll slow my roll. This isn’t something that I just have to have. I’m just I could figure something out if I am in a rush. Perhaps later, I’ll request it. Thanks!

Just to make sure all bases are covered, the directions here do not work?

I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but it might be worth looking at.

So installing fprintd and fprintd-pam is easy as they are available. Enabling them via systemctl is easy as well. BUT registering a fingerprint fails when you first scan a finger.

Looking into getting around it, but if any of you have some tips, they would be appreciated!

Turns out that fprintd is just too old. I am curious if it is possible to pull something out of the Rome or Cooker repos, but not base the entire system on it?

Could someone maybe tell me how to do that?
