<div class="gmail_extra">Dear list, an update (sorry for keeping the previous reply off-list, accidental reply instead of reply-all) I have tried compiling the latest versions I could get from Freedesktop.org: libfprint 0.4.0 and fprintd 0.4.1 I could compile libfprint (configure, make, make install), but not fprintd (GIO version isn't high enough on ubuntu 10.04, is 2.24.1; requires >=2.26) I didn't feel up to screwing my complete OS just to get a higher GIO version (don't even know what it does..), so I went for the latest versions I could find in David Jurenka's PPA: libfprint0 1:0.4.0+git20110418-0ppa1~lucid1 fprintd 0.2.0+git20110125-0ppa1~lucid1 (How up-to-date are those? last compile-time said "two weeks ago", but I don't know how current the source is, lib-fprint seems OK, fprintd apparently is "ancient") With these I tried again, fprintd-enroll, and the device is detected, scan-light comes on, and nothing happens upon finger-touching to the reader. I also discovered wireshark also captures USB, so I tried a run: attached is the capture-file of device insertion to device removal, with a run of fprint-enroll in-between. Disclaimer: this is my first time using wireshark or any capture tool, if I made any mistakes, or you need anything else, let me know. Timing information: 0.0s - 6.2s --> insert device cable, recognition, (pop-up shows device recognised as "USB device ZKSoftware Inc. Biokey 200 A&T Sensor") <<pause>> 32.8s - 33.1s --> start fprintd-enroll in console (as normal, non-root, user) <<pause>> Try several times touching finger, one time for 15 seconds, hoping for time-out no new packets appeared what-so-ever <<pause>> 89.5s - 95.3s --> terminate fprintd-enroll with Ctrl+C <<pause>> 108.0s - 111.3s --> unplug device <<pause, end capture> I specifically noted that no new packets appeared when I tried touching my finger to the read-window, neither on finger-on nor finger-hold (waited 15s), nor on finger-off. So, apart from updating my complete OS to get a higher GIO-version (allowing me to compile the latest fprintd), what else can I do to get this thing working?
