Hello! First, please let me congratulate all of you on your persistent troubleshooting efforts. I recently picked up an Acer Spin 5, which has a newer ELAN unit in it, so I thought I'd see if I could help. I use this system primarily for software development under Fedora 28, so I should be in a good position to help test the hardware, if not the Ubuntu-specific login process.
The unit in this laptop enumerates as: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04f3:25a1 Elan Microelectronics Corp. I have installed code from GitHub, current as of today. Without even adding the model to the driver, the test program properly read and verified a print, at least some of the time. There are issues but the point is it worked at least once, using the test utilities. I added the 25a1 model code to the driver list, and installed, but as yet, fprintd-enroll still fails: [mheck@localhost ~]$ fprintd-enroll list_devices failed: No devices available [mheck@localhost ~]$ sudo fprintd-enroll [sudo] password for mheck: list_devices failed: No devices available I'm not sure what's going on with that, but in any case, the model number "25a1" seems supportable, since it works with the standalone test programs, and should probably be added to the model list. Anything else I can do to help add support for that particular model? Seems to be recent, but deliberately backward compatible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641290 Title: [04f3:0903] Elan Microelectronics Corp fingerprint reader not recognised To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/1641290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
