Is there something I can do about it?

Hi, encountered the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 on my ThinkPad T470s.

Hi, I also encountered the same error on a Thinkpad X1 with Linux Mint 20.1

Same on Thinkpad X1 carbon 4th on Fedora 34. Has anyone found a solution to this?

For anyone still searching for a solution and because this project seems to be dead: Have a look at this one https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity

Working fine for me on my t470s

This did not work for me on my P50.

@squarecode that won't work. You compare a hardware driver with a python userland tool to access a hardware driver.

[plabadens]

@MartinX3 That is incorrect, the python-validity driver accesses the device directly (likely through libusb bindings). I was able to test this out in a Python REPL on my x270. Also, fprintd is a userland tool as well, as it does not run in the kernel. The difference between this project and uunicorn/python-validity is that this one is an fprintd fork that handles the device directly, whereas the other is a (different) fprintd fork that uses dbus to communicate with a userland driver written in python.

[MartinX3]

@plabadens that is incorrect https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity is no fprintd fork. 100% of its code is written in python. You still need a fprintd driver package on your computer. And you repeat me and combine it with a wrong explaination.

[plabadens]

It requires open-fprintd, a fork of fprintd by the author of python-validity to work: https://github.com/uunicorn/open-fprintd

[MartinX3]

Yes, it requires an fprintd package and is not a fprintd fork itself, like I already said 2 times...
