Public bug reported: [Impact]
On Ubuntu 20.04, with Synaptics fingerprint reader, users can use one fingerprint to login system, but if users add more fingerprints, they still can only one of those to login, other fingerprints do not work. To fix this issue, we need support fingerprint identification in the driver of Synaptics fingerprint reader, by backport this libfprint commit to Focal: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/commit/e27b65c9 [Test Case] I tried backport the commit above to libfprint (1:1.90.2+tod1-0ubuntu1~20.04.2) in Focal and tested on 3 ThinkPads(both use the 06cb:00bd Synaptics fingerprint reader), the multiple fingerprints works well. We have other OEM platforms with Synaptics fingerprint reader, we can use it to validate the changes if needed. [Regression Potential] the commit comes from Synaptics' engineer, just affects one file: libfprint/drivers/synaptics/synaptics.c, and only add identification support in that file, so the regression potential should be low. ** Affects: oem-priority Importance: High Assignee: Shengyao Xue (xueshengyao) Status: In Progress ** Affects: libfprint (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0) Status: In Progress ** Tags: oem-priority originate-from-1903502 sutton ** Changed in: oem-priority Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: oem-priority Assignee: (unassigned) => Shengyao Xue (xueshengyao) ** Also affects: libfprint (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: oem-priority Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to libfprint in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905600 Title: Support fingerprint identification in the driver of Synaptics fingerprint reader To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1905600/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
