ASUS Vivobook TP401MAR_T : Unknown ElanTech fails to work properly
The ASUS Vivobook I recently acquired has a fingerprint sensor.
This sensor is detected, detailed as an "ElanTech" sensor
# fprintd-list admin
found 1 devices
Device at /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Fingerprints for user admin on ElanTech Embedded Fingerprint Sensor (swipe):
- #0: left-index-finger
- #1: right-index-finger
Attempting to use the GNOME settings to add a fingerprint results with the following issues.
Problem reading device
upon fingerprint completion, in the same dialog as the fingerprint enrollment process.
Failed to stop enrollment: Failed to communicate with the device during enrollment
after dialog closed. I noted that the fingerprint still appeared afterwards.
Using the CLI tool has 0 issues visible.
Trying using the fingerprint reader for CLI, such as a "sudo" command leads to "Failed to match fingerprint", similar to GDM when trying to login.
This device did not show up in either lsusb
