I also faced this problem, and I was only able to solve it by creating a Windows virtual machine and setting up the fingerprint reader within it.

udaemon commented 12 months ago

@Dreta can you explain a little bit more in detail what you did? because I also can not initialize the reader. and while I can set up my fingerprint in a windows VM I don't know how to use that when in linux. are you using open-fprintd then? I always get this back:

me@T460s ~ [1]> fprintd-verify me list_devices failed:

any hint is warmly welcome! :)

I set up a Windows 10 virtual machine In VirtualBox (remembering to install the guest additions and Oracle's extension pack for USB support). Afterwards, I installed the drivers for this fingerprint reader in the virtual machine, found on Lenovo's website. Then I set up the fingerprint reader using Windows Hello found in the settings.

It did work in Windows, but after trying it in Linux (Arch), it didn't work, always showing an "unknown-error" when trying to enroll a finger. I ultimately gave up. I was using the fprintd found in Arch's repository.

@Dreta, thanks for replying. which fingerprint reader do you have? 138a:0090 or 138a:0097? If it's the first one you might check out this: https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity/issues/129 At least, I'm confident to get it working with some help from there. :) cheers!

Thank you! I have 138a:0097.

Thank you! I have 138a:0097.

hi Dreta, just got 138a:0097 in a thinkpad x270 working. if you still have this problem, get back here, maybe I can help you. :)

Thank you! I got a new laptop recently, and there are no longer issues with the fingerprint sensor.
