I think this should not be closed. I have : Bus 001 Device 003: ID 27c6:538c Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader in my lsusb output, but there is no driver loaded and thus fprintd cannot be setup.
For this specific ticket there is a driver request at the project: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues/161 I think it should be linked to that. Let's hope the folks there or perhaps Dell will fix this, or any other savvy developer. Until then, I think this bug report should remain open to track it. For other device IDs bugs should be opened too ideally. I hope this helps. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues #161 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues/161 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721909 Title: Goodix GF3208 (fingerprint reader) not being recognised by lsusb(usbutils) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/usbutils/+bug/1721909/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
