Hello. I’m new to manjaro. I’m trying to set-up fingerprint but getting errors. I tried to install fingerprint-gui from AUR but getting this error:

BTW my device is not listed on Fprint Supported Devices list.

Fingerprint Device ID:

Also I’m not being able to install python-validity (yay is already installed on my device)

Hi @AHNayef, and welcome!

While I’ve never worked with fingerprrint stuff, this :point_down:

…makes me suspect some kind of driver issue.

(BTW.: Have you checked that it’s enabled in BIOS/UEFI?)

So, to better diagnose the problem, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:

Hope you manage!

:bangbang: Tip: :bangbang:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Please edit your post accordingly.

fprintd is available from the official repositories and is available via pamac GUI or in terminal. Why not give this one a try, rather than an AUR package?

pamac install fprintd

Already tried. Spend hours on aur wiki but couldn’t do anything :frowning:

According to this page the driver for this does not seem to be in the kernel:

We have not found a driver for the device in any Linux kernel versions up to 6.1 according to the LKDDb.

…and you have to install additional drivers:

You need to install one of the following additional drivers for the device to work properly:

And, luckily, , is in the AUR:

$ pamac search vfs
[...]
libfprint-vfs_proprietary-git                                                                                                                                                                                             0.99.0-3                AUR
libfprint with support for the Validity/VFS proprietary driver
[...]

…albeit the -git version.

You can install it with:

pamac build libfprint-vfs_proprietary-git

Followed by a reboot to see if it works.

Hope this helps!

Edit:

Check by analyzing the output of:

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width

If it does work, it should be listed along with the driver, under the Graphics section IIRC.

Then try fprintd again:

pamac install fprintd

If not, please reply with the complete output of:

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width

Getting this error when I try to install from Add/Remove Software:

*I’m not being able to add image that’s why I’m showing error this way(with text)

Getting this error when I try to install from console:

I’ve removed the original libfprint but still getting the same error:

First of all, you’re missing the prerequisites for using the AUR.

See:

vfs495-daemon no longer exists and libfprint-vfs_proprietary-git currently has no maintainer.

Welp, according to this reddit post it doesn’t work:

Nope. It as others said, there’s nothing that can be done

So, If there is a way to get it, I don’t know what it is.

Sorry.

What to do now?

Until someone picks that up and fixes the PKGBUILD, there’s nothing you can do. At best maybe you can make a request to fprint maintainer but there won’t be any promises. Creating a bounty could be an option, too. No idea which platform, though. Fiver maybe?
