Hello. New co-maintainer here. There is now a working solution, but you either have to patch libusb manually or wait for FS#74240 to be fixed.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74240

Also libfprint-tod-git >= 1.94.3+tod1 is needed, update your version!

Dell has stopped offering Ubuntu on the XPS line very recently. Bad omen for the OSS support :/

halan commented on 2022-03-18 16:32 (UTC)

Still does not seem to work with the most recent libusb.

I wonder if Dell still maintains this; the source repository has not been updated in over a year.

I confirm that libusb 1.0.24 is needed, since 1.0.25 breaks it. Concerning fprintd, I tried updating it to 1.94 and the fingerprint seems to work, so now the problem is libsub

Now it seems that libusb 1.0.25 breaks this package too

fprint 1.94 is in Debian testing now, does anyone know if there's a useful way to bug Dell to update their driver? The fingerprint reader is one of the last remaining issues with this laptop on Linux (it's so insanely slow and unreliable), and I'm hoping an update to the driver will alleviate that.

Same here, running the following setup and works just fine:

local/fprintd 1.90.9-1 (fprint) D-Bus service to access fingerprint readers local/libfprint-2-tod1-xps9300-bin 0.0.6-2 (fprint) Proprietary driver for the fingerprint reader on the Dell XPS 13 9300 - direct from Dell's Ubuntu repo local/libfprint-tod-git 1.90.7+git20210222+tod1.r2.g447cd3f-1 (fprint) Library for fingerprint readers - TOD version

Downgrading fprintd to 1.90.9-1 worked for me as a workaround until (if) Dell fixes the issue.

fprintd 1.92.0 isn't even in Debian testing yet, so it's probably going to be a while before it makes its way into Ubuntu. I doubt Dell will bother fixing the driver until then.

Hey! Thanks for this package.

Small fix: could you please change privs on said file?

Configuration file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libfprint-2-tod1-goodix.rules is marked executable. Please remove executable permission bits. Proceeding anyway.

Cheers …

From what I see, upstream hasn't updated yet, so not much the maintainer can do in terms of fprintd 1.92.0-1. I have downgraded mine to 1.90.9-1, and it works, so do that for now until upstream updates the driver.
