hi guys, i recently install arch linux with gnome, and all is working great, the little issues i found, i fixed them by searching on arch linux documentation, but there is a problem i used to have with all distros i installed an d is that my validity sensors:
[root@dell-vostro-3300 arch-linux]# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
it is recognized, but its impossible to configure it, i mean, (i can do it by terminal, or by config, users, select my user and go to fingerprint login) but it ask me for enroll my finger and first time i get this:
[root@dell-vostro-3300 arch-linux]# fprintd-enroll
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right-index-finger finger.
then i enroll it and it says:
Enroll result: enroll-stage-passed
but when i try again nothing happen, same when using the GUI to configure it i enroll my finger shows like a fingerprint with a green checkmark , and somethimes shows 2, but i have to enroll the other ones and it dont recongnizes no matter what i do
i googled a lot but cant find anything, so i hope u guys can help me.
thanks in advice
PD: sorry about my english

I have a VFS5011 in my laptop and I have only tried enrolling a fingerprint via command line. From your description what I can say is that you have to swipe your finger a few times until fprintd-enroll returns the prompt to you. You should also do it from your user account and not root.
The other things I can say are, this has started to work for me only recently and it is quite picky when verifying the fingerprint. You have to swipe your finger exactly the same way all the times when enrolling and then exactly the same way when verifying otherwise it will fail to match the fingerprint.

well, thanks for ur answer, actually im trying it on my acc not in root one, im pretty sure im tried in all the ways always trying to put it the same way, idk if its a bug with my laptop, Dell vostro 3300, core i5, intel/nvidia and looks like a bug because sometimes i put my finger frist time and the first fingerprint gets a green checkmark, and other time i enroll first time and fourth and fifth fingerprints gets a green checkmark

You probably want to use url tags, not img tags lest you anger the moderators
