Running "fprint-demo" with this hardware installed reports "No devices found".

This is the integrated reader in new ASUS ZenBook UX390UA laptops.

[Isaac Emesowum (iemesowum)]

Confirmed on UX390U.

This bug should actually be a feature request. There is currently no support for elantech fingerprint scanners in libfprint. Someone needs to write a driver for it. It's proprietary, so that might be tricky.

Yep. Same issue. UX330U :( WAUGH!!!

[Arash (ara4sh)]

Same issue Asus UX490

[Casey Salvador (csalvador)]

I'm having the same issue with Asus UX430UA as well.

[Dylan Borg (borgdylan)]

The same device i on the Zenbook Pro UX550 as well.

[Dmitry Korotovsky (rmpic30)]

Looks like I would change my laptop a way faster than Ubuntu team would fix this bug =/

[Manuel Matas (manuelmatas)]

Same issue with Asus UX550VE. No devices found on Fingerprint GUI 1.09.

[Toky RALALA (ralala-toky)]

I'm confirming the same issue on ASUS UX530UX too

[skilo (ramskilo)]

Same here with Zenbook UX430UN.
There's a kernel module named elan_i2c that makes me wonder:

depends:

vermagic: 4.10.0-38-generic SMP mod_unload

Since the fingerprint sensor is part of the touchpad, it could be managed by this module (?). But in my configuration this is not loaded by default, and it is loaded instead hid_multitouch.ko.
Unfortunately neither load this manually and remove hid_multitouch resolves.

Hope this helps

Did someone try this libfprint's branch with 04f3:0903 (ELAN on Asus UX530UX)?

[Isaac Emesowum (iemesowum)]

I gave it a try with 04f3:0903:

"This program will enroll your right index finger, unconditionally
overwriting any right-index print that was enrolled previously. If you want
to continue, press enter, otherwise hit Ctrl+C

Found device claimed by ElanTech Fingerprint Sensor driver
Opened device. It's now time to enroll your finger.

You will need to successfully scan your finger 5 times to complete the
process.

Scan your finger now.
async:error [fpi_drvcb_enroll_stage_completed] BUG at async.c:161
sync:error [fp_enroll_finger_img] unrecognised return code -71"

I used the 'enroll' example binary after building the code at that
location. It's not a device file permission issue. Has this worked for
anyone else?

[Alberto Martino (malbertom)]

The branch sbechet/libfprint is only a "first try"
the developer hasn't figured out yet how to make elan work.

At the moment the device is only added to be a "supported device" but the code on the file

https://github.com/sbechet/libfprint/blob/elan/libfprint/drivers/elan.c

throws an error (-71) on this method:

static void elan_cmd_cb(struct libusb_transfer *transfer)

on line 197 -> else if (transfer->length != transfer->actual_length) //throws the error -71

I'm reporting here the message from Igor Filatov to Sébastien Béchet

Current official master branch works for me (UX430UA [04f3:0903]).

The only change I made was adding my device to the driver:

[Timur Celik (clktmr)]

I added that line to drivers/elan.c. However, after some testing it's not working reliably for me. My fingerprint is recognized in about 1 out of 10 cases only. libfprint doesn't seem to like the images provided by the sensor. Possibly some improvement in the image processing is necessary. I will look into this if I find the time.

@Igor,

Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to install libfprint 0.8.3 on Ubuntu 18.10? I would love to try the driver on my ZenBook.

[Igor Filatov (iafilatov)]

@Ares

0.8.3 is not in the Ubuntu package repos yet so the only way is to install from source https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint

[Angel (4ng3ll)]

Hello, I followed all the instructions and apparently I could install fprint correctly. However when I run sudo ./img_capture I got an error message. Also is not possible to enroll and fprint_demo cannot fing any device.
I tried to look for the error 903 but the github page is no longer available
I'm running it in ubuntu 18.10 if that helps.
I hope anyone can help me out

It appears that you have libfprint with a bug that's been fixed some time ago. It looks like an unstable version could've appeared in repos due to misunderstanding of some sort (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/143 for more info). You can try a newer git master, downgrade or wait till your pakage source (ppa? because ubuntu repos still have an older version) gets an update.
