@ffjia I'm sorry, I'm fool) Maybe it didn't work because in "post_upgrade" section group plugdev are removed and created again. Thus, user is no longer part of the group. I think that I probably looked a group previously, when user was part of the group. I'm so sorry...)

@ffjia You have to use "strace" (pacman -S strace) to list all the system calls done by the program : $ strace -f fingerprint-gui 2>&1 | grep "open" (-f : "Trace child processes as they are created", 2>&1 because strace output on stderr and we want to send it to grep, grep "open" because we only want to look at the file opening attempts, not at everything else) When selecting the "Scan/Verify" tab, you should see some "open" system calls to different files. For me, it was especially trying to open "/etc/tc.cfg", but it failed. After doing some researchs, it appear that those files (/etc/upek.cfg and the files in /var/upek_data) are only needed for EEPROMless sensors. Maybe your sensor has an EEPROM, and so it don't need those files, and so you don't have any problem because it never look at them ? Once again sorry for my crappy English...

@all guys - sorry for the inconvenient and thanks for help. I use BSAPI_4.3.291Lite_SDK_for_Linux because I want to support 147e:2020 sensor. I myself installed this version, works just fine without "/etc/tc.cfg". $ uname -a Linux southpark.co.us 3.7.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 18 02:13:30 EET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux @macman31 - How did you find this the libbsapi look for /etc/tc.cfg? Since many users found problem to use this verison, I removed BSAPI_4.3.291Lite_SDK_for_Linux, and still use the one bundled with fingerprint-gui.

So, I also have an Upek 147e:1002. I found the problem ("ABSOpen() failed -1086 (An internal error occurred (ptlib: tfmerr -1086).)."), doing a lot of strace. It appear that the libbsapi compiled from BSAPI_4.3.291Lite_SDK_for_Linux.tar.gz search the Upek configuration file specifying the location of the scanned fingerprints in "/etc/tc.cfg" instead of "/etc/upek.cfg" It don't find the file "/etc/tc.cfg", so it fallback to the default folder, "/etc/tcstore" (instead of /var/upek_data), which don't exist, causing the error. A quick (and dirty) fix would be : cp -p /etc/upek.cfg /etc/tc.cfg With that fix, everything is working as it should. A better fix would be to use the libbsapi bundled with fingerprint-gui-1.04.tar.gz, instead of getting it from BSAPI_4.3.291Lite_SDK_for_Linux.tar.gz : it use the right configuration file, /etc/upek.cfg directly. I hope this helped ! And sorry for my English, I'm French.

@ffjia what was added in current release? Animation and what else? BSAPI or fingerprint-gui.patch& Or both? Because sudo doesn't always work in graphical interface (KDE/awesome) %)

Yes -- for some reason, ever since upgrading a few days ago. I am having the exact same problem with the same error message. I also have the Upek 147e:1002

@arcanis - I updated to this version myself, everything is fine to me. Your sensor id is different though. $ lsusb | grep Upek Bus 001 Device 003: ID 147e:2016 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor It maybe caused by the BSAPI SDK. Anyone else encounter this problem?

arcanis commented on 2013-02-20 23:27 (UTC)

I deleted fingerprint-gui.patch, finger-swipe-animation.tar and BSAPI and all work
