Has anyone succeeded in using fingerprint for things other than the login screen? e.g. sudo on the terminal, or other dialog boxes that ask for authentication?

@Atul_Ingle my fingerprint works in terminal on the Respin of Fedora that Framework recommended.

@Atul_Ingle I use it to unlock 1Password, works perfectly. On first boot, I have to use my master password to unlock 1Password, but after that, I can just use my fingerprint.
UPDATE: Ooooh, I just noticed I can also use my fingerprint to sudo!

Oh. That is SLICK!

if anyone’s wondering, setting up the fingerprint to work with sudo is simple for Ubuntu 21.04. just need to run sudo pam-auth-update and use the spacebar to enable fingerprint auth. there’s a stackexchange on this as well sudo - Use fingerprint authentication not only for login - Ask Ubuntu.
obviously, you need to have built libfprintd with the directions laid out above and enrolled your fingerprint. for me, i needed @Ian_Cleary’s directions and @Ryan_Helinski’s addition of using install at the end of the ninja command. additionally, i had to use sudo to install ninja since meson was looking for it in usr/local/bin. i built the latest version from source which is libfprintd v1.94 i believe.

@garrett528 I don’t see a fingerprint option when I run sudo pam-auth-update. I think I may have to manually edit some files in /etc/pam.d/
I have this problem. It appears the fingerprint reader has storage of its own, and when fprintd can’t tell the fingerprint reader what fingerprint to delete, it can’t tell the reader to wipe its memory and start over.

We started a thread with the sensor maker to see if they have a solution for this.

I’m having an issue with building fprintd (v1.92.0) via meson builddir
meson.build:84:0: ERROR: Dependency "libfprint-2" not found, tried pkgconfig
but, libfprint (v1.92.1) build just fine.
in the log from the failed build of fprintd, I saw this error:

In another thread, I learned about ninja -C builddir install, which I ran in the libfprint directory.
And now I get a different error from fprintd meson builddir

Use Void Linux, where the binary package is at 1.94.0

Well, I’m already using Ubuntu 21.04 – (and have a lot of setup scripts for ubuntu, so I think I’ll stick with that)
@NullVoxPopuli I saw both of those errors at one point.
#1 I think what fixed the libfprint-2 problem for me was sudo apt install libfprint-2-dev
#2 If you are certain that you installed all dependencies (in particular check for pip install gobject and pip install PyGObject), a hacky workaround would be to comment out the line in meson.build that says 'gi.repository.Fprint': true and then try again.
Hi all - an apologies for my lack of technical skills. Loving my Framework laptop and Ubuntu so far working SUPER well. I cannot seem to install the needed updates for the fingerprint reader - I am definitely NOT more the techy type and the chain of discussion is a bit hard for me. Any suggestions (other than the obvious: learn more about all this - hehe…) for a concise set of instructions for a total newbie? Or maybe the best recommendation is ‘wait til it gets rolled into Ubuntu itself…’

@Atul_Ingle you can edit /etc/pam.d/sudo to include the following lines in order to use fingerprint sensor first, and a password as fallback. Make sure that top line is at the top, as PAM reads sequentially line-by-line.
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so try first_pass likeauth nullok
auth include system-auth
account include system-auth
session include system-auth

Thank you Anthony1, but I don’t know how to do what you are indicating. I am thinking the best answer for me it to just wait until its supported by Ubuntu. I know it seems very easy (and crazy that I don’t know how to edit using terminal, but it just seem to elude me without detailed instructions)
Is the fingerprint sensor’s backlight supposed to be always on?
(I’m on Ubuntu 21.04)
@Atul_Ingle thanks tons for your help - I don’t understand/know how to edit at step 3 of ian’s instructions. how do I get it to save and exit the editor window?
I am getting there - now I have this?:
meson.build:209:12: ERROR: Problem encountered: pixman is required for aes3500 and possibly others
@ari it’s always on for me. I don’t mind it because I think of it like a “power on” indicator instead of “fingerprint sensor backlight”. I don’t think there’s a way to change that behavior through your OS settings.

@Atul_Ingle that’s a good way to think of it. I was curious because of this gif from the framework blog: Framework | The Touchpad and Fingerprint Reader
The fingerprint issue some people were having with “finger is too similar to another” seems like it’s an issue that affects other laptops too. I found this post where what sounds like the exact same issue was resolved by replacing the motherboard (!!!). I have a Dell Inspiron 5515 (the id of the Goodix reader it uses is 27c6:639c) with this issue too, it seems that Vaelatern was on the right path, that the reader has its own storage somewhere that causes issues. I suspect the reader isn’t playing well with fprintd. I tried with version 1.94.0, which supports clearing the chip’s storage as of fprintd 1.92.0 but no dice. I’ve cleared TPM, cleared CMOS, tried clean installs of different distros and the problem is still there. However, in Windows, it works, even with the finger that’s problematic on Linux. Since it works on Windows, I’ve also tried enrolling and removing the problematic fingerprint, but that does not remove it from wherever it’s saved on the board, and I end up with the same issue when I boot back into Linux, even a clean install. Since you mentioned you’ve been in contact with Goodix, are there any updates on the situation that you could share @nrp? Perhaps you could forward the above information as well since it may help with finding a solution for the Framework Laptop (and hopefully other laptops as well). Sorry for the wall of text about other laptops, but since the issues sound identical and that there were multiple people with this issue here, I thought it may be helpful to post about it here.
edit: this issue - fprintd-enroll fails immediately with "enroll-disconnected" for supported device (#404) · Issues · libfprint / libfprint · GitLab also sounds very similar
