I've got an ASUS BU201LA that also sports a Validity Sensor with Id 0138a:0010.
I got it to work by downloading the source for libfprint from http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/Download/ and adding the USBID to the source for vfs5011 like this: *** vfs5011.c.orig 2015-05-14 19:59:06.489565109 +0200 --- vfs5011.c 2015-05-14 19:59:14.133534986 +0200 *************** *** 992,997 **** --- 992,998 ---- } static const struct usb_id id_table[] = { + { .vendor = 0x138a, .product = 0x0010 /* vfs5010 */ }, { .vendor = 0x138a, .product = 0x0011 /* vfs5011 */ }, { .vendor = 0x138a, .product = 0x0017 /* Validity device from Lenovo T440 laptops */ }, { .vendor = 0x138a, .product = 0x0018 /* one more Validity device */ }, Recompiling results in a libfprint.so.0.0.0 that can be used in the place of the one from the ppa. Using the fingerprint reader shows the same issues as reported by Ruben in #55 - it works, but the failure rate when trying to authenticate is quite high. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827669 Title: [138a:0018] Validity Sensors fingerprint reader not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libfprint/+bug/827669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
