I'm guessing you use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fingerprint-gui/ ?

If so, that's a QT5 program.
You do have qt5-wayland installed ?

If yes, set the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM to wayland as the warning message indicates.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Thanks for you tip, unfortunately not working.
I switch to fprint instead, so i close the 3ad

Thanks
