Dell Fingerprint

[spectre]

Hello,

The included fingerprint scanner for my part in the Dell Latitude E6530 with Ubuntu 4.12 does not work. It would be very interesting as Ubuntu and Dell working on it to activate the system.

Here is the corresponding line via lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c: 5801 Broadcom Corp.. BCM5880 Secure Application Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor

Thank you.

Bonjour,

Le scanner d'empreinte digital inclus pour ma part dans le Dell Latitude E6530 sous Ubuntu 12.04 ne fonctionne pas. Il serait fort interessant que Ubuntu et Dell travaillent sur le sujet pour l'activation du systeme.

Voici la ligne correspondante via lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor

Merci.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Canonical can not work directly with Broadcom to offer a Linux driver has to leave even one as Nvidia proprietary driver?

When testing or no response Broadcom contact via email or through social networks.

Canonical may have more weight to the application.

Otherwise will have to harass them on social networks and email Lol.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.
