The missing config shouldn't be a problem — it's only necessary for specifying alternative storage types, and if missing it will use the default settings. Do you have any problems other than this warning showing up?
I think the issue is that the service dies. @Vskilet can you share the output of systemctl status fprintd
?
Ho ! @zimbatm you're right !
--> systemctl status fprintd.service

But I try to start it and enroll fingerprint but it the same :
found 1 devices
Device at /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
User vskilet has no fingers enrolled for Validity VFS5011.
@Vskilet the next thing to do is search other distros like Arch Linux to see if they have encountered the same issue. I suspect that the behaviour might have changed after a package upgrade and nobody noticed.
I suspect that systemd might be stopping it automatically and starting it on-demand, since it's a Type=dbus
service.
Update is not the solution but use the arch documentation is : https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/fprintd
I suggest the pr #50478
Thanks @nyanloutre for help.
Issue description
Hi, I try to use my fingerprint reader on a Thinkpad T440p under Nixos 18.09 but there is a problem with the fprintd.conf
We can see that fprintd.conf isn't create or usable by fprintd-enroll in this case.
Steps to reproduce
Use fprintd service :
fprintd-enroll
Pass 3 times your finger on the fingerprint reader
Check if your fingerprint is save :
fprintd-list
