Failed import

Open MR-Spagetty opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Last night i updated my Arch system (running gnome and wayland) and after this update the dbus service of this is now failing to import from the validitysensor module saying

no module named 'validitysensor'

causing the service to fail and me to be unable to use my fingerprint sensor

oh god I thought it's just me. same issue here. I wonder which package specifically broke, I can't find where 'validitysensor' is even from or how I'd go about installing it

edit: checking the pacman log, about every single package related to python has been updated. I am afraid I am gonna have to manually roll back everything, unless I can somehow figure out which bloody package implements validitysensor

Well, looks like a layer 8 issue.

I hadn't updated python-validity for a while, updating fixed this.

EDIT: I lie. the service starts without complaining about the import failing but the sensor still does not work EDIT, part two: reinstalling open-fprintd fixed this.
