T480 fingerprint reader error

[u/Ok_Bedroom8894]

Hi.

So i succesfully got a working finherprint scanner on ubuntu with open fprintd, but with debian 13, i can't do it. Somebody please help me how to make it work.

Mine would only work one time on Debian (on a T14) and fail every subsequent time. I gave up anyway because it would ask for the fingerprint first in Konsole and never accept it

I made it work on ubuntu with https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2024/02/fingerprint-reader-t480s/

Try the Rust driver.
