USB fingerprint reader verification
I bought a cheap USB fingerprint reader, which my Tumbleweed installation recognises:
[57410.112935] usb 2-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 9 using ehci-pci [57410.222356] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0483, idProduct=2016, bcdDevice= 0.01 [57410.222367] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [57410.222372] usb 2-1.1: Product: Biometric Coprocessor [57410.222375] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics [59577.002850] usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 9 [59611.140935] usb 2-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci [59611.250493] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0483, idProduct=2016, bcdDevice= 0.01 [59611.250505] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [59611.250509] usb 2-1.1: Product: Biometric Coprocessor [59611.250513] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics
I can enrol my fingerprint without any difficulty. However, when I try to verify my fingerprint it immediately returns without asking me to scan my print
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0 Listing enrolled fingers:
- #0: right-index-finger Verify started! Verifying: right-index-finger Verify result: verify-disconnected (done)
Two questions:
Can anyone tell me how I might fix the problem? Happy to provide additional information
If the answer is, “it is a crap scanner”, could anyone suggest a scanner that might work?
