The package will automatically apply a patch required for the vfs0097 reader if one is found in the system at build time, it will otherwise build for vfs0090. You can force a preferred behavior by exporting VFS0097=1 or =0.

If you have any issues, make sure talk about it https://gitter.im/Validity90/Lobby so it has a chance to get fixed.

GH issues have also been enabled by upstream, so make sure you check that as well: https://github.com/3v1n0/libfprint/

The driver should work as expected, but same as above for any issues.

Thank you all for your feedback, all the reported issues should now be fixed.

Thanks @Stebalien for the patch.

Attempt to build via pamac on Manjaro Gnome yields:

Patch to fix the PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/5e6f91229968f92eaf85a0c971d1dc0c

  1. Uses warning instead of messing around with color codes manually.
  2. Checks out the appropriate submodules so the build works.

Sadly the neweest package change broke the aur package with the following error message

libfprint-vfs009x-git/PKGBUILD: line 36: local: RED: Readonly variable.

Alright guys, I updated the package and added some checks:

  • export VFS0097=1 or =0 will respectively force the VFS0097 patch on or off.
  • Unless explicitly forced, the PKGBUILD tries to see if a VFS0097 reader is attached to the system, and if it is, it applies the patch.

Please let me know if it works :)

EDIT: I also noticed 3v1n0 created a new repo on XDG's GitLab, I asked which one should be used and I'll update the package accordingly. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/3v1n0/libfprint/-/issues/3

Thanks @ectospasm for linking this. I'm aware that 3v1n0 is quite busy so he doesn't look at GitHub issues very often.

This is the actual patch: https://github.com/piotrekzurek/libfprint-tod-vfs0090/commit/804bdcfe4179a2f350af5344dc0362111ab017ae

I just tested it on my laptop (vfs0090) and it does NOT work with the patch.

However, as a temporary workaround I can make it so that the patch is applied if you export VFS0097=1 at build-time.

The issue ultimately needs to be addressed by upstream.

Anyone experiencing a protocol error with vfs0097 should review this upstream issue. There's a patch to getting it working, but I had to use a third-party GitHub repository to get it.

You should probably ask in the Gitter chat: https://gitter.im/Validity90/Lobby

As a temporary workaround you can use downgrader from AUR to download fprintd v0.90 and install this package, then add it to IgnorePkg so it doesn't get upgraded.

RainbowNia commented on 2020-07-20 06:58 (UTC)

Okay. I have installed this other one but when I run fprintd-enroll <username> I get failed to claim device: Open failed with error: The driver encountered a protocol error with the device. Do you know any fix?
