Jorge, this is probably the same bug as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504399 . There seem be to several variants of the 147e:2016 device, and not all of them work correctly with FPrint. See also http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Unsupported_devices#UPEK_TCRD4C_.28newer_Eikon.29 .
Jorge and jedioetzi, should you want to dig deeper into the issues, you can restart fprintd in debugging mode by running sudo killall fprintd sudo /usr/lib/fprintd/fprintd -t You will get even more verbose output if you replace the libfprint0 package with the libfprint-debug0 variant. The best place to submit any findings is then the upstream mailing list. However, be warned that, sadly, there is pretty much no upstream activity at the moment. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #504399 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504399 -- gnome-about-me misses fprintd for fingerprint authentication support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
