Fingerprint Reader

How do I enable the fingerprint reader in AnduinsOS?

What's your fingerprint reader?

You need to install it's driver.

Usually can be downloaded in their official website.

It's built into my Lenovo i& laptop. I'll check their website.

This thread might be talking about it:

I believe this repo is the driver:

I bought a thinkpad (T14p) with the same fingerprint reader and installed AnduinOS 1.3.4. (zh_CN version, anyway, doesn't matter)

And I installed this deb:

https://github.com/Am0rphous/Shenzhen-Goodix-Fingerprint-Reader/blob/main/libfprint-2-tod1_1.90.1%2Btod1-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb

simply double click and use the store to install it on AnduinOS.

Then you can go to Settings -> System -> Users and add a finger to a user.

After that, lock the screen and touch the sensor!

I installed the .deb but I don't see any place to add a fingerprint.

And this is the log for the fprintd service.

Thanks, but it looks like my device isn't supported.
