XPS 13 9300 - Does fingerprint reader work on linux?

Hi
I saw your post/comment regarding a goodix fingerprint driver that you were able to use. I use a goodix gf 3208 fingerprint reader on my dell machine and it doesnt work on linux. Can you help me install the required driver. I am new to linux.

Where are the sources for the driver libfprint-2-tod1-goodix? I would like to help to get it working on the 7590 model. Thanks in advance and best regards.

I *think* it was from one of these:

deb http://dell.archive.canonical.com/ focal somerville
# deb-src http://dell.archive.canonical.com/ focal somerville
deb http://dell.archive.canonical.com/ focal somerville-melisa
# deb-src http://dell.archive.canonical.com/ focal somerville-melisa

# lsusb |grep oodix
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 27c6:533c Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. FingerPrint

I'd love to see it supported on the 9700 model as well, and perhaps not so tied into Ubuntu but usable with a standard Linux kernel so it can be used on Debian or Arch or something.

Hi @DanielNTX I can confirm this to be working on the XPS 15 2020 a well. Thanks a lot!

Thanks!

I can confirm that it also works on Dell Precision 5550, Ubuntu 20.04.

Will the drivers posted by @DanielNTX for Ubuntu 20.04 work with the recently released Ubuntu 20.10?

Unfortunately I can't seem to find the finger print reader either...

lsusb | grep oodix
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:5385 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader

fprintd-enroll
list_devices failed: No devices available

Any ideas why that would be?

It also seems howdy is not happy either.
No face model folder found, creating one

is this untested code?

I have a Inspiron i15-5584. Does that work on this leptop?

Hi @DanielNTX 

Are there any working drivers for the Goodix fingerprint reader which comes with the Inspiron 14 7000 2in1 (7405).  The device is listed as

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 27c6:538d Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. FingerPrint

cheers

On XPS 9550 I had to configure howdy manually:

# howdy config

Added: device_path = /dev/video0

(have a look in your /dev/v4l/by-path/ )

Then howdy test/add worked fine

can we send concrete commands please. So, I want to install ubuntu on my Dell xps 15 9500 machine and add fingerprint reader driver on it

Hi

Will this work on a standard Ubunut 20.04 LTS?

thanks, Jarihj

Hi

Sorry to disturb you.

I see that you have gotten the fingerprint sensor to work on Precision 5550.

Are you running a standard Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

Thanks in advance.
