I have a Galaxy Book Ion laptop (NP950XCJ-K01UK) running Windows 11 v22H2 and the fingerprint scanner driver (v2.4.1.882) randomly disappears. Samsung Update says there are 11 drivers normally and it randomly drops to 10 and the 'fingerprint sensor driver' just disappears from the list and Windows settings confirms this as the fingerprint option becomes unavailable. There's no obvious pattern to this and Samsung Update does not show any updates being made when it does disappear. I've found how to re-download the driver using Samsung Update but that doesn't seem to recover it. It downloads the driver file to my 'downloads' file but when i run the install it doesn't recover the driver even after a restart. I've found an elongated way to recover online it by resetting the 'TPM Key' but thats a bit laborious. Anyone having similar issues? Any ideas why the driver keeps disappearing and how to stop it and/or a quick recovery?

But now that I've installed Zorin naively on this machine (a while back - I didn't think much of this then), I want to see if I can try to get the fingerprint sensor working with the help of you, the Zorin Forum.

While fingerprint device support is available for many of the devices out today, have you done a search to ensure that your device is supported and possibly noted which kernel version added that support? Zorin is currently on the 5.15.4... kernel i believe. If this is a newer device, you will most likely have to upgrade your firmware version if not your kernel version (this is a risky operation, backup your files before attempting it. Warning: using a newer kernel prior to the release from the developers can break your OS installation. While it is possible to run without issue, it is different for every machine depending on the hardware configuration).

You may try lshw in the terminal. Look for fingerprint in the output. The device and driver should be listed. Search for that device in conjunction with Ubuntu 20 (on which Zorin is based). That should give you a better idea of its a driver issue or whether the device is supported yet or not.

In September 2020 I bought the Galaxy Book Flex and have been using the fingerprint scanner until recently. I had to send the laptop in for a screen replacement, so I turned off the Fingerprint scanner for sign-in so the technician didn't have any issues (or thought I did.....) when I received my laptop back Thurs, 2/18), the fingerprint was back on and working until Sat afternoon 2/20). Went into Device Manager and found this:

After looking into the event logs, the scanner has had multiple errors since Dec 2020. I have checked for updates both through Samsung updates and Microsoft updates and there aren't any - the latest is July 2020. There was a critical error yesterday - "The device CanvasBio Fingerprint Driver (location Port_#0005.Hub_#0002) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash. Windows will attempt to restart the device 5 more times. Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem."

TL;DR: You can find the driver by clicking here. It is also available as an AUR package. For a tutorial on how to flash the firmware, please follow this guide's step 1. Also you will need version 1.92 of fprintd for this driver to work as the fork hasn't been updated to 1.94 yet.

A few days ago I received a new work computer. As I use Manjaro Linux as my daily driver OS, it was important to me to choose something that will run it without any bigger issues. After doing my research, I settled on a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2021). Basically everything it has to offer works fine under Linux, even the fancy LED cover is fully controllable. There is one noteworthy exception though: The fingerprint reader does not work under Linux. The particular fingerprint reader my machine has is a Goodix 521d. But this isn't an issue with this particular one: A quick search will reveal a whole list of unsupported fingerprint readers. While there are different reasons as to why they are not supported, for my reader there were multiple.

First of all its resolution is too small to properly work with the detection code used in the Linux library, libfprint, responsible for fingerprint reading. While this can be worked around, there is a different issue regaring TLS communication with the device. The existing SSL library used in libfprint will not work with my reader and a second, different one would have to be introducted to the library. Last but not least, there is just no support from the vendor whatsoever. There is little to no documentation available on how to communicate with these readers.

Since there is a substantial amount of users with unsupported readers of the same vendor, there has been a community effort to start working out on how to implement drivers for these devices. This is where I started my quest of getting a working driver for my reader.

Most development effort was focused on a different reader as they had made promising advancements towards a working driver. I survived whole 2 days of waiting before I decided that it was time to start development efforts myself. There was only two problems: First of all I have no clue about drivers or fingerprints and second I don't know how to program in C. But I figured its worth a shot anyway, there was not much to loose except a few hours of my life.

But there is more. Since the fingerprint reader is so small, libfprint's way of verifying fingerprints just cannot find enough details to compare against and simply fails the verification everytime, even if the finger wasn't moved since the enrollment. To counter this, instead of taking one shot of the finger, I made the program take 10 shots and stitch them together. Thats also how the swipe-style fingerprint readers work! After providing libfprint with a far bigger picture and therefore far mor details, I was finally able to enroll and verify fingerprints. Now, this method might not be the safest and there will definitely be work done for a better one. So I wouldn't recommend relying this for top secrecy, although when enrolled properly I only managed to get a false positive once with one of my other fingers.

I never took on this project because I had particular knowledge in fingerprint scanning, drivers or even C itself. This was sort of a fun coding challenge to myself, trying out something new I had never done before and no clue about. I definitely enjoyed the 2 days journey of writing this driver and experimenting with it. It was painful sometimes and many stupid mistakes, but getting to the stage where you can unlock your machine with a driver you (mostly) wrote is very rewarding. If you got a Goodix reader that isn't working, join the discord and check out what work has been done for your device. And if you got some spare time on your hand, you might just try to fix it yourself.

@nrp Could you share the instructions for installing the Goodix driver(s) mentioned in your other blog post? Running Ubuntu 21.04 and looking to start using the fingerprint reader before the commits make it to the core OS.

If someone wants to see Ubuntu to support the fingerprint feature for Framework laptop on a future released version, you need to ask a Debian libfprint package maintainer to upgrade to the latest libfprint version. Because Debian is the upstream distro of Ubuntu. Maybe you can find a way to open the ticket somewhere in the Debian libfprint package tracker page. And same for other distros too!

Has anyone gotten the fingerprint sensor working in arch yet? I have libfprint installed at the latest compatible version but gnome 40 still does not recognize the fingerprint. I would love to get this figured out and added to the arch linux thread.

There are no Linux drivers for these fingerprint readers. There's a reverse engineering project that is in progress. Also Lenovo support staff made a claim that drivers are being developed for some of the synaptics fingerprint readers. Right now these devices are not usuable in any Linux distro. There is no point to try.

As great as this service sounds, you may sometimes find that the Windows Hello fingerprint is not working because of hardware issues, system corruption, software conflicts, incorrect settings, or faulty, obsolete and incompatible drivers.

Many reported cases of fingerprint malfunction in Windows Hello are experienced after installing Windows updates, like the 1809 version that caused many issues like system crashes, data loss, failure to boot up, and application crashing among other problems.

The idea is to use the built-in fingerprint reader in some notebooks for login using PAM. This article will also explain how to use regular password for backup login method (solely fingerprint scanner is not recommended due to numerous reasons).

Adding pam_fprintd.so as sufficient to any configuration file in /etc/pam.d/ when a fingerprint signature is present will only prompt for fingerprint authentication. This prevents the use of a password if you cannot Ctrl+c fingerprint authentication (due to the lack of a shell). In order to use either a password or a fingerprint in a graphical interface, add the following line to the top of any files required:

If you want to prompt for fingerprint and password input at the same time, you can use pam-fprint-grosshackAUR. This may be needed for some graphical programs which do not allow blank password input, such as Gnome's built-in polkit agent. To use this package, add the following lines to the top of any files required: ff782bc1db
