Hi everyone. New co-maintainer here. I use xps 9500 and recently update libusb up to 1.0.26-1. Using with libfprint-2-tod1-xps9300-bin it seems that driver work correctly.

@guiand yes I can see it with lsusb.

When I use libfprint-tod-git (from AUR) and libfprint-2-tod1-xps9300-bin, and issue the command sudo fprint-enroll, the system sees my fingerprint reader and even asks to enroll my fingerprint, but then it outputs Enroll result: enroll-unknown-error and Failed to clear storage before first enrollment: Device has no storage.

When I overwrite it with the libfprint version built from source, the fingerprint reader is no longer detected (I get GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.NoSuchDevice: No devices available).

Maybe this problem is distro-dependent (I'm using Manjaro).

@nihil21 Do you see the fingerprint reader with lsusb ? Did you also install the fingerprint reader's driver? It is libfprint-2-tod1-xps9300-bin in the AUR.

  1. Install the driver libfprint-2-tod1-xps9300-bin
  2. Install libfprint-tod-git
  3. Build the new version of libfprint-tod-git and overwirte the system libfprint with our version - like I wrote in my previous post.
  4. Enable and start fprintd with systemd

Hi @guiand, thanks for the help! Unfortunately it doesn't work on my system though: after overwriting the system libprintf I get the GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.NoSuchDevice: No devices available message.

@nihil21
This was done on F35 but I am guessing there shouldn't any major difference? If you have the older AUR package installed, all dependecies should already be there.

Build libfprint & libfprint-tod
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/3v1n0/libfprint.git
cd libfprint/
git checkout tags/v1.94.1+tod1
meson builddir && cd builddir
meson compile
meson install
Overwrite the system libfprint with our version

As root: 

cp libfprint/libfprint-2.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib64/
cp libfprint/tod/libfprint-2-tod.so /usr/lib64/
cp libfprint/tod/libfprint-2-tod.so.1 /usr/lib64/

Hope that helps!

@guiand could you elaborate more on how you built it from source? Thanks in advance.

I now run the XPS on Fedora 35 and had the same problem. Upgrading the package to v1.94.1+tod1 solved that issue for me. Had to build from source.

Unfortunately as of today it stopped working for me too. Every time I try to enroll a finger it returns Enroll result: enroll-unknown-error and Failed to clear storage before first enrollment: Device has no storage.

Installed with --nocheck as mentioned by joshyrobot. fprintd-enroll returns Enroll result: enroll-unknown-error. journalctl -u fprintd.service says Failed to clear storage before first enrollment: Device has no storage. I built v1.90.6 from GitLab with the same result, so this is probably different from what nihil21 encountered.

I no longer own an XPS or any other device using a libfprint-tod reader. I’m happy to make others co maintainers, since I cannot test any changes to the package myself anymore

Version v1.94.1+tod1 (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/3v1n0/libfprint/-/tags/v1.94.1+tod1) is available
