For anyone running into issues with the open-fprintd and python-validity being unable to find their python modules after the python 3.14 upgrade, rebuild and reinstall the package to fix.
@sudopluto: Potentially push the package release to 2 to make sure everybody gets the update automatically
interesting, can anyone else comment on how their fingerprint reader is working after suspend?
Hey there, I just wanted to report that there is still an ongoing issue with the first verification failing after resuming from suspend.
I can only assume that the python3-validity-suspend-hotfix service is supposed to fix that, but it didn't for me. What did end up working in my case was modifying that service to execute sh -c "systemctl restart python3-validity && /usr/lib/open-fprintd/resume.py"
Unfortunately, you still end up having to wait about 10 seconds after resuming for the FPR to start working, so there isn't really much gained over just triggering the FPR twice...
thanks for flagging out of date, will update to 0.15 soon
please let me know if any issues arise this update, will try to fix asap. otherwise, hope you enjoy a late Christmas present!
added the suspend hotfix, added service enabling during install / upgrade, and added disabling the services during uninstall
new python release for arch so bumped pkg rel. will add the suspend services soon, happy holidays everyone!
edit: open-fprint needs to be rebuilt as well, and i do not own that pkg. i left a note / flagged out of date, but for now, please manually rebuild that pkg.
also taking a look at https://gitlab.com/bingch/libfprint-tod-vfs0090
for an alternative for this pkg, please check it out and report if your hardware is not covered.
ok thanks for input, will try to include a reliable restart service (probably from nix pkg)
+1 for the restart service inclusion. The script given on the Arch Wiki for the ThinkPad P51 corrupts NetworkManager if the open-fprintd-resume.service is restarted after resuming from sleep, and often doesn't work if that's commented out.
+1 for including the restart service in the package, searching for it manually is giving me an aneurysm
