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.

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

Thanks
