After installing the package, “Fingerprint authentication” did not appear in the settings>system>users>
First of all need run
run
$ sudo systemctl start fprintd.service
$ fprintd-enroll
I managed to run it by installing the “fprintd-pam” package and modifying the “/etc/pam.d/system-auth” file so
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok
(the instructions were in the fprintd-pam package in README.md)
To run fprintd, I had to copy the
/lib/systemd/system/fprintd.service file
to
/etc/systemd/system/fprintd.service
and add into
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
after that run
$ sudo systemctl enable fprintd.service
and
$ fprintd-enroll
Everything worked.
