This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This issue still exists in F22. Can somebody please update the Version: field? Thanks.
This issue still exists also in F23, so like Brian J. Murell I wish the version field be updated
This issue still exists in F23 with fprintd-0.6.0-3.fc23.x86_64: $ fprintd-list paul No devices found $ lsusb | grep -i finger Bus 007 Device 002: ID 138a:003f Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS495 Fingerprint Reader
This is a request to please update the Version: field of this ticket to F23 since this still exists in F23 and my request in comment #3 back on 2015-11-04 to update to F22 was even ignored. This ticket should not EOL just because F21 is EOLing since this issue continues to exist. Please don't ignore this request to update the Version: field.
Exactly same problem here.. Fedora 23 x64 reader: VFS495

@Janis: why did you clear the needinfo flag for Bastien? It was there for him to change the version of this ticket to 23 since that's the latest version that this is being seen in. Although I'm about to give up on waiting for him and escalate this request to Red Hat management since he does not seem to be responding.
If you say it's valid for F23, just edit the field yourself :)
(In reply to Pierre-YvesChibon from comment #10) > If you say it's valid for F23, just edit the field yourself :) If only I could. I don't have permission to. I suspect outside of Red Hat only the reporter and the assignee can.
Apparently I can, so here it is :)
(In reply to Pierre-YvesChibon from comment #12) > Apparently I can, so here it is :) Awesome! Thanks! I wonder why you can but I cannot.
Apparently SUSE got this patched already. https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2013/suse-ru-20131363-1.html
Have exactly the same Problem , found a dirty "Workaround" by self making libfprint but could not get it to work:https://github.com/Gnate/libfprint/tree/master/libfprint/drivers/validity
Same here on Fujitsu Lifebook T935 in Fedora 23 (kernel 4.4.6-300.fc23.x86_64) with fprintd 0.6.0-3. Bus 001 Device 008: ID 138a:0050 Validity Sensors, Inc. Swipe Fingerprint Sensor
And same here on HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 running Fedora 24 beta. Bus 001 Device 003: ID 138a:003f Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS495 Fingerprint Reader
The same on HP ProBook 470. FC24. Bus 003 Device 003: ID 138a:003f Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS495 Fingerprint Reader
The same on a HP Elitebook 850 G2. The guide on this page: https://balintbanyasz.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/get-validity-vfs-495-fingerprint-reader-working-in-ubuntu-14-04/ explains it for Ubuntu systems whereas afterwords it works (tested). Hopefully i can compile something togheter for Fedora 24.
Same on the HP ZBook 15 G3 on Fedora 24. Clearing the needinfo flag, as the information has obviously been provided.
The device is not support by libfprint upstream, and the hardware maker hasn't provided any specifications, just a bunch of binary blob drivers[1]. This makes it impossible to support. Please file a bug upstream if you want this fixed, bearing in mind that nothing will happen unless specs become available. [1]: such as the ones in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=973461
Just a correction: the URL of the upstream bug is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97346
