Make Fingerprint Reader Work Again - with Linux / Ubuntu 24.04

- probably you need BIOS update

- install libssl1.1 ( I have 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22)

- get deb (version 5.8.012.0 works for me) and install from : http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/pool/public/libf/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/ 

And settings > system > users shows new login method with fingerprint,

that's all

    Thank you for posting this.
    That deb 5.12_018 worked great on Ubuntu 24.10 (Latitude 7400)

    @vadym t​  Sorry for the disturbance. Which Dell model are you using? Mine is a Latitude 7430, and the fingerprint sensor not working its giving me headache. I’ve tried everything I could, but to no avail. If you know any solution to the problem, kindly share it. When I checked the fingerprint connection mode, I found it was I²C.

    I'm also using Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

    I managed to get this working on a Dell Latitude 7450 running Ubuntu 24.04 (with a Broadcom sensor embedded in the power button). After following those steps, I needed to enable the driver:
