Hi Folks, Has anyone had success using a fingerprint scanner for Gnome login? I'm currently on a ThinkPad X230, but did have the fingerprint scanner working on an X60 working under Trisquel about 8 years ago.
I added "(service fprintd-service-type)" to my Guix System services list and "fprintd" to my packages. I also added myself to the "input" group, which I suspect might be required to enroll fingerprints as regular user. After a reboot I can run "fprintd-enrol" and "fprintd-verify" to add fingerprints. I was initially unable to log in to Gnome at all (no password prompt), getting the error: "Sorry, fingerprint authentication didn't work. Please try again." After another reboot, I did get a password prompt and can login by password, but that error message flashes rapidly below. The fingerprint scanner also doesn't light up, so I assume it's not being activated for some reason. Any suggestions or thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? Regards, Ben
