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.

Oh, I just realized you're commenting on libfprint-vfs0097-git. This package is out of date, libfprint-vfs009x-git should replace it.

I think you're mixing up something. libfprint-2.so is provided by this AUR package.

Just install this AUR package and then fprintd from the repos. You're probably seeing errors because most AUR helpers will install repo packages first and then AUR packages, while this package needs to be installed first otherwise fprintd will also want to pull libfprint from the repo.

But that causes a compatibility error because this does not include libfprint-2.so Does that mean we cannot use this tool?

depau commented on 2020-07-18 01:47 (UTC)

The latest

RainbowNia commented on 2020-07-17 10:35 (UTC)

Which version of fprintd do we need?

cyberia commented on 2020-07-12 04:13 (UTC)

Hi, please can the gobject-introspection package be added to the build dependencies

gugah commented on 2020-06-20 16:03 (UTC)

@Depau could you check pkgver on the PKGBUILD?, yay keeps trying to update the package: aur/libfprint-vfs0090-git 1:v1.90.1+vfs009x.1.r0.g82aed23-1 -> 1:1.90.r0.gb8e684e-1

depau commented on 2020-06-16 02:21 (UTC)

Package has been updated and it should work with updated fprintd. If you added fprintd to IgnorePkg you can now remove it and update both this package and fprintd.

You need to perform the enrolling again.

I think this should also work with vfs0097 but I'm not sure, I asked Marco for confirmation.

I also packaged validity-sensors-tools in case you need to perform initialization and you don't wanna use snap. Note that, in case you're concerned, upstream didn't specify a license; also it uses stuff from the proprietary drivers from the Lenovo websites, I haven't looked around too much.

depau commented on 2020-06-15 23:41 (UTC)

I'm sure happy to update, hurray!

Sorry for the delay :/
