Hi Cedric, I used this <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_integrated_fingerprint_reader_with_fprint> to get the fingerprint stuff working and this <http://askubuntu.com/questions/210815/how-can-i-login-to-lightdm-with-password-for-fingerprint-enabled-user-after-12-1> as a guide to get lightdm working as well (which so far I've failed miserably in getting it working)
I'll check the code, but I'm not the coding kind of guy. I know how to break and debug things, but making them work not so much. However, I'm glad to be a guinea pig to help and make it work. Just to give more info, I'm not seeing an error when passing my finger though the reader. It just doesn't do anything (like nothing happend). I don't see any PAM related logs in my /var/log, so I really don't know if there is any kind of interaction. As far as I understood, the fprint daemon talks via dbus with stuff using the fprint-pam library. The daemon is being registered in dbus, but seems to not be called 2015-07-27 21:15 GMT-03:00 Cedric BAIL <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > On Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 1:51 AM, Wido <[email protected]> wrote: > > Backstory: I have a kinda new laptop where I installed Debian stretch > > (testing at this moment) and E19 from the sparkylinux repos, since I > don't > > want to compile everything like I did with my desktop (the laptop is from > > my work, so all the dev libs and compiling work is really not needed). > > > > The thing is, this laptop has a fingerprint reader which works fine with > > the fprintd daemon.
