                      Don't top-post, s'il vous plaît.

                      That is a library part - 'libfprint',
                      follows a service part - 'fprintd'. ;)


                      poma



                 I didn't realize that the link to fprintd was not
        created by the
                 libfprint install.  I created a symlink for
        libfprint.so.0 and
                 fprintd
                 works now.  Woohoo!  Thanks.

             Hi Jerome,

             Do you know what is the difference between this library
        that you
             have compiled and the packages in Fedora? I'm asking
        because I think
             it is the same project.

             I also have a Validity Sensors, which also doesn't work,
        but mine is
             a bit different than yours:

             $ lsusb | grep -i finger
             Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300
             Fingerprint Reader

             $ lsusb -d 138a:0008 -v
             Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300
             Fingerprint Reader

             Device Descriptor:
                bLength                18
                bDescriptorType         1
                bcdUSB               1.10
                bDeviceClass          255 Vendor Specific Class
                bDeviceSubClass        16

                bDeviceProtocol       255
                bMaxPacketSize0         8
                idVendor           0x138a Validity Sensors, Inc.
                idProduct          0x0008 VFS300 Fingerprint Reader
                bcdDevice            c.90

                iManufacturer           0
                iProduct                0
                iSerial                 1
                bNumConfigurations      1
             ..........

             These are the packages I have installed:

             $ rpm -qa | grep fprint
             fprintd-0.5.0-1.fc19.x86_64
             fprint_demo-0.4-12.fc19.1.x86_____64
             fprintd-pam-0.5.0-1.fc19.x86_____64

             libfprint-0.5.0-2.fc19.x86_64

             The package in Fedora crashes when I'm configuring my
        fingerprint.
             Would you show me the steps you followed to compile the
        library?

             Regards,
             Germán.

        German,

        I do not think that you need to compile the newest driver for your
        sensor as it already exists for your hardware.  Just to make sure,
        please provide the output to the command below.

        grep 138a /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-__fprint-autosuspend.rules

        Nevertheless, I merely followed the instructions in INSTALL file
        that
        came with the driver.

        https://github.com/maffmeier/__fprint_vfs5011/blob/master/__INSTALL
        <https://github.com/maffmeier/fprint_vfs5011/blob/master/INSTALL>

        In my case, I simple ran the command below.

        ./configure; make; make install

        regards,
        j



    Thanks for your prompt reply Jerome.

    This is the output you asked for:

    $ grep 138a /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-__fprint-autosuspend.rules
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001",
    ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0005",
    ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0008",
    ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"


    Regards,
    Germán.

German,

That last line from your output tells me that you shouldn't need to
compile the new driver.

The output of your lsusb...

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0008 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS300
Fingerprint Reader

coincides with the driver that is loaded in your machine...

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0008",
ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"

If you are not root, run sudo fprint_demo.  This will at least tell you
if your system can see your hardware.  You can even test it by clicking
on the Enroll button.  If this works, all you have to do is
run fprintd-enroll as the user that you will use your sensor for.

regards,
j


Jerome,

Yes, I understand. I can successfully open the GUI to configure my fingerprint, but while scanning my finger, the program crashes... that's the reason I asked the steps you followed to make your fingerprint reader to work... I think I can't do anything more than that... I also filed a bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982018

Anyway, thank you very much Jerome!

All the best,
Germán.
