Ubuntu 20.04, new libfprint-2 and as such our precious drivers won't work.

Nice easy compile and installation in 19.10

Upgraded to 20.04, the fingerprint scanner stopped working.

After looking at what changed, libfprint is now libfprint-2, installs a new set of libraries (libfprint-2.so.2.0.0) at a different location (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu).

Our drivers compile great, but they're no substitute for the new libraries, as such I'm currently back to square one.

This is on 138a:0090. Thank you

138a:0097 - the same

I have the sad/slowly feeling this wonderful project is dead. :(

Fedora 32 updated fprintd to the latest version, which also requires libfprint-2.so. The previous modified version is completely unusable. Could successfully make and install it, and run the enroll and verify in the examples directory. But running fprintd-enroll gave No devices available.

ThinkPad T470 with 138a:0097, too.

Here is the successor.

It cannot be used in Fedora 32. When I tested meson libfprint libfprint/_build, I got this error following:

Does the PKGBUILD from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libfprint-vfs009x-git/ help you? (Just checkout the Git Clone URL:)

Or how it get build there for ubuntu? https://launchpad.net/~3v1n0/+archive/ubuntu/libfprint-vfs0090/+packages

I am sadly not much into fedora, but maybe it's just a configuration mistake on your build system?

Well, if it helps I uploaded by private builds of libfprint for Fedora 32 (64 bit) here: http://cubbi.de/libfprint/

@MartinX3 @sircubbi thanks for your help! Through "PKGBUILD of the arch repository" and "@sircubbi private builds of libfprint", I successfully installed the new libfprint. However, when I used fprintd-enroll to test, I found that they didn't work ;;;;

This is exactly what I ran into as well: https://gitter.im/Validity90/Lobby?at=5efe3170e0e5673398ebc0be
