Dell XPS 9300 Fingerprint config

Hi there !

I have bought a Dell XPS 13 9300 last May and I have seen in ArchLinux wiki that the fingerprint sensor has finally a driver and that it works well on Ubuntu :tada:

  • So I followed the instructions
  • Rebooted
  • But then, when going in Gnome Control center
  • Users
  • FingerPrint login

I get the following message

Could not access  any fingerprint readers
Please contact your system administrator for help.

Does anyone managed to successfully configure it ?

Thanks all for your feedback :pray:

OK problem solved:

After reading more carefully the ArchLinux Doc:

More specifically:

  • Install fprintd
  • Add yourself to the input group
  • Setup through Gnome-settings

it now works!
