Fingerprint scanner not showing up in fingerprint-gui from the AUR

[Tommaso_Peduzzi]

I have just installed manjaro xfce and am trying to get the fingerprint scanner to work. I tried installing fingerprint-gui using yaourt from the AUR, but the scanner is not showing up in the program. It says that no devices were found. Do I have to update some drivers or do anything similar?
Thanks in advance!

I have not seen anything regarding that specific package. Have you seen this post? It looks pretty straightforward:

Fingerprint reader setup

For linux, just install fprintd with standard package manager, and run fprintd-enroll to enroll the print, and it should be automatically available from login manager. And if you wanna use it with any sudo invocation too, which isn’t officially supported by libfprint/fprintd, you can install pam-fprint-grosshack, you’ll require to add those two lines in the project README to your /etc/pam.d/system-auth.

If that doesn’t get you sorted, this thread has an abundance of information.
