Bug Description
I'm using this driver with a Dell Precision 5550 (Bus 001 Device 005: ID 27c6:533c Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. FingerPrint
).
It "kinda" works, but in practice though, probably 80% of the time it will simply fail to read my fingerprint. I have tried fprintd-enroll several times, changing my finger position, but the end result is always the same: most times it fails to read my fingerprint.
I'm not sure if this unreliability scenario is related to the hardware itself being just... bad, or if this is something done in software by the driver / firmware, that can potentially be improved (binary blob driver... I can't see what it does...). I have the feeling however, such bad hardware would not be put to market (or maybe I have a defective device?).
If there's any new firmware / driver version that can be tested (preferably with source code :-D) I'm in for giving it a try.
Hi @Fabio, "G_MESSAGES_ DEBUG=all" in fprintd.service file?
Can you help to append Environment=
Please help to append log by the following steps.
$ sudo systemctl restart fprintd.service
(log out and try to login by using finger authentication)
$ sos report
Thanks.
