Alright updated to the 'new' upstream branch. Hopefully this works for you guys. Sorry about the wait on my changes, I've been busy, and honestly my fingerprint scanner is not all that reliable so I find myself not using it.

Hope this update works,

Aaron.

On a slightly related note, I asked chatGPT to write me the sed command which gets the version hahahaha. Works nicely by the looks of it.

Current upstream version is 5.12.018

https://git.launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-engineers/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/+git/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/commit/?h=upstream

Please update as this version 5.8.012 is outdated, broken and based on the wrong branch (master) instead of upstream.

Should I as the maintainer change the source from the master to the jammy branch? I'm failing to understand the problem.

+1 for that change. It makes my device work too (Latitude 5430). The new release was only added to the jammy branch.

Change

branche=master to #branche=jammy

Then your Broadcom fingerprint scanner works!

After installing I check the systemctl status fprintd.service and got the same error as Alex Tsi:

fprintd[1192]: Impossible to load module /usr/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/libfprint-2-tod-1-broadcom.so: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Since I am a noob I did not understand what AlexTsi meant. Here is an approach to help following noobs like me: 1. git clone this repo as usual 2. use some editor of your choice and modify the PKGBUILD file as follows to use the newer jammy branch: 2.2 replace in line 22 source=("git+https://git.launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-engineers/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/+git/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/#branch=master") the default master branch with the jammy branch. 3. save and execute makepkg -si as usual 4. After that and installing the package libfprint-tod-git from AUR everything worked on my lattitude 5511

This no longer works. fprintd fails with:

Dec 05 10:24:32 fprintd[1192]: Impossible to load module /usr/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/libfprint-2-tod-1-broadcom.so: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This has to do with the upgrade to ssl 3, and is discussed upstream at https://bugs.launchpad.net/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/+bug/1991794.

There is a new release, at the jammy branch. I used that branch in the PKFBUILD and it works fine again.

I got it working, the gnome.mkenums_simple issue lies not with this package but libfprint-tod-git

There is a solution in the package mentioned in the comments, an update PKGBUILD is available here which i found in the comments of the above package page

minerscale commented on 2022-02-13 13:54 (UTC)

I run Plasma so no, that can't be it. Sorry I can't be of much more help. I really wish I could replicate the error so I can fix it!

Cciby commented on 2022-02-13 13:45 (UTC)

Same issue here. Given that the error references gnome, is this package supposed to work on non Gnome environments, in my case Plasma?
