+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

Chiming in to agree with including the restart service in the package.

could you please include the restart service in the package as well so that the reader still works after suspend (sleep)?

sudopluto commented on 2024-10-18 23:06 (UTC)

updated pkg for glib2 deps. please let me know if you would like me to include the restart service that some other distros package for proper wakeup from suspend for the reader

The package will build if "glib2" is added to dependencies in PKGBUILD.

Package does not install.

fprintd-clients-git/src/meson.build:1:24: ERROR: Dependency 'glib-2.0' tool variable 'glib_genmarshal' contains erroneous value: '/usr/bin/glib-genmarshal'

glib2-devel needs to be added as a dependency for the package to install properly, as per this issue on Arch gitlab.

Until the package gets updated -- if it ever does, you can fix the issue yourself with : yay -S glib2-devel .

this package does not work anymore with latest switch to python 3.12 in Endeavour or Arch linux.

fprintd-enroll gives list_devices failed and service status outputs

Mai 10 08:43:11 x270 systemd[1]: fprintd.service: Two services allocated for the same bus name net.reactivated.Fprint, refus>

I suppose this is related to it.

So, I was playing around with EndeavorOS on my Thinkpad T480, and I ran into some hiccups with python-validity and open-fprintd packages. They were throwing similar error messages as mentioned in this thread: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-validity#comment-853537.

I also noticed that when I ran whereis python, it showed me both the system version and the version managed by RTX.

To fix the issue, I disabled RTX, removed all fprintd packages, reinstalled them, then followed the instructions at https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity. And voila, it worked!

There's probably a more streamlined solution out there - but, it worked in this case.

If you're using a language manager, it might be causing some confusion during the installation process.
