Re: RFC: [PATCH] BSAPI bridge driver for libfprint

Hello Chow,

I don't know about the others but I'm really looking for something
like these. This could also allow some benchmark test between both.
Also, this could help on reverse engeneering what is different from
other drivers on your device.

libfprint upek driver, in my case, is still unusable because of its
poor matching results.

Thanks and I really hope success for you.

I have a 147e:1000 and I will try to test your patch.

Regards,

Re: RFC: [PATCH] BSAPI bridge driver for libfprint

Hello Chow,

I can confirm that this also works with my device. Probably, it will
work with any supported BSAPI devices.

I am not a fprint commiter and not a fprint master but I have some suggestions.

It should exists a way to switch from/to libfprint native driver
to/from bsapi one. Maybe a env variable? Have the case of multiple
drivers implementing the same device ever happened in fprint? Also, I
think that native upek*.c drivers should have precedence over bsapi
(if not set explicitily by env or compile flag).

The configure script may need some fix like checking for bsapi and
disabling the driver if libs are missing. Configure also does not list
the new driver in the drivers feedback (--with-drivers).

About this usb_id list, maybe fprint workflow could be adapted to not
use id_table outside the driver. Like, instead of calling discovery

cannot download

Hi there, I'm interested in trying out fprint.  However, when I try to
download any of the source packages at
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hadess/ I get the error: could not be
saved, because the source file could not be read.

Both working as expected here.

Re: cannot download

Hmm, it's working now.  Not sure what the problem was... it was
probably on my end.  Thanks, though!

Currently, the bsapi driver only activates when libbsapi.so is found. I believe
a valid assumption would be that people who have the proprietary libbsapi.so
installed would want the driver to override the native driver.

On the other hand, like you mentioned, an environment variable would be useful
to force the bsapi driver to not even try loading the library. I'll add support
for that in the discover() function.

Ah, I missed that out in the configure script. I'll fix it up.

Couldn't open device on Ubuntu 11.04

Hello there!


I'm trying to use the libfprint on Ubuntu 11.04, but when I try to open the device (Digital Persona u.are.u 4000B), I receive the following error message:

uru4000:error [dev_init] interface claim failed
fp:error [fp_dev_open] device initialisation failed, driver=uru4000

I tried to do the procedures described on this tutorial - http://bit.ly/dvtWB5 -, but I haven't any effect.
Do Anyone can help me?

This "procedure" is 3 years old, and completely out-dated. Install the
latest libfprint and fprintd. There's a PAM module shipped with fprintd.

Re: Couldn't open device on Ubuntu 11.04

I downloaded the last version of libfprint and fprintd from the git, recompiled my app, but the error remains the same.
