Is there something I can do to expedite this? I submitted a bug that wound up being a duplicate of this one, and even created and tested a patch to the config. The config change is pretty trivial, and worked perfectly in my testing. I'm not sure why this wouldn't be considered a permanent fix rather than a workaround.
The fix is pretty trivia, and involves changing a default in the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/net.reactivated.fprint.device.policy to: <action id="net.reactivated.fprint.device.enroll"> <description>Enroll new fingerprints</description> . . . <defaults> <allow_any>no</allow_any> <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive> <allow_active>auth_self_keep</allow_active> </defaults> The previous default was: <allow_active>yes</allow_active> Duplicate bug I created: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901132 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532264 Title: fprintd allows unauthorized root access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fprintd/+bug/1532264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
