Public bug reported: Hello! I have this Fingerprint reader device (according to the provided list, it is supported): `Bus 004 Device 003: ID 08ff:5731 AuthenTec, Inc. AES3500 TruePrint Sensor`
Unfortunately, it is not usable, neither on Windows or Linux, since on Linux it will stop reading the any finger after the first try. I've attached a screenshot, and an ltrace log, truncated at the beginning: http://paste2.org/PbOD2y6a . Do you need also gdb to find out the exact problem? I've tried with several versions of Ubuntu: {10,12,14}.04 LTS, 15.04 - all will fail not read just once, it may be a driver error or a endless loop/deadlock. Please fix this issue, I have 2pcs of this item, bought on eBay earlier (2-3 years), looks like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APC-BIOMETRIC- PASSWORD-MANAGER-Fingerprint-reader-USB-/111101262681 (there is http://www.acroprint.com shown there, it is not APC as I think).
