[02:18] <cabpa> hello, how do i add the Caps Lock and Num Lock key indicator on the panel?
[17:47] <manu1511> hi
[17:54] <diogenes_> !hi | manu1511
[18:19] <billy-bezos> hello there, can i ask a question here?
[18:19] <manu1511> yeah
[18:19] <billy-bezos> im on xubuntu 20.04 and i have an Authentec AES2501 fingerprint sensor on my laptop
[18:19] <billy-bezos> i was wondering if there was a way to make it work for logins and stuff?
[18:20] <pmjdebruijn> you'd need PAM integration I Guess
[18:21] <pmjdebruijn> https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/04/ubuntu-fingerprint-scanner-login-desktop apparently regular Ubuntu improved support for that, not sure how that applies to xubuntu
[18:22] <billy-bezos> i see
[18:22] <billy-bezos> i tried installing fprintd by following the tutorial from aarch wiki
[18:22] <billy-bezos> but it didnt really work
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> you'
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> you'll need more than just a daemon
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> you need pam module, and an appliance to enroll your fingerprints
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> the daemon is mostly just some infrastructure piece to tie the other two pieces together
[18:24] <billy-bezos> i tried to install fingerprint-gui but it seems that i was discontinued and wont work for 20.04
[18:24] <billy-bezos> it*
[18:27] <billy-bezos> will installing libfprint make it work?
[18:27] <billy-bezos> sorry but i dont get how linux stuff works together yet : /
[18:32] <pmjdebruijn> libpam-fprintd you'll need that
[18:33] <pmjdebruijn> apparently the enrollment thing is tied to gnome-control-center
[18:33] <pmjdebruijn> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/3v1n0/fprintd-mock-runner that was linked on the page I pasted earlier
[18:35] <billy-bezos> looks like i had installed libpam-fprintd already
[18:36] <billy-bezos> but if i try fprintd-enrol it does not register my finger swipes and just kinda stays stuck
[18:38] <billy-bezos> also if the enrollement gui thing is tied to gnome does that mean i cannot use it on xubuntu since its xfce?
[18:41] <pmjdebruijn> not sure
[18:41] <pmjdebruijn> I've never tried it myself
[18:42] <billy-bezos> i see
[18:42] <pmjdebruijn> the pam things might need to be enabled
[18:42] <pmjdebruijn> not sure if merely installing it also enables it
[18:42] <pmjdebruijn> sudo pam-auth-update will tell you I guess
[18:42] <pmjdebruijn> keep in mind you might end up locking yourself out, so keep a livecd handy :)
[18:43] <billy-bezos> i do have it on a flash drive just in case
[18:44] <billy-bezos> i think i did that command before
[18:44] <billy-bezos> now it says that fingerprint authentication is enabled
[18:44] <pmjdebruijn> fprintd-list what does that say
[18:44] <pmjdebruijn> is fprintd currently running?
[18:45] <billy-bezos> found 1 devicesDevice at /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0User bezos has no fingers enrolled for AuthenTec AES2501.
[18:46] <billy-bezos> sorry for messed up formatting
[18:46] <pmjdebruijn> and 'fprintd-enroll bezos' just hangs?
[18:47] <billy-bezos> it says "Enrolling right index finger" as if its waiting for me to swipe my finger on it but it does not seem to register any swipes
[18:47] <billy-bezos> i know  that you have to do it maybe 10 times or something but still
[18:48] <pmjdebruijn> keep doing it
[18:48] <pmjdebruijn> maybe the sensor is just not that great
[18:48] <pmjdebruijn> require more passes
[18:49] <billy-bezos> its an older style one yeah def not great
[18:49]  * pmjdebruijn has to run
[18:49] <pmjdebruijn> good luck
[18:49] <billy-bezos> but i used it occasionally on windows and i know its "sweet" spot
[18:49] <billy-bezos> ill keep trying then, thank you so much for the help and good night!
[19:13] <bill-bezos> hope im not nagging too much, but i have a more annoying problem
[19:14] <bill-bezos> when i suspend my laptop, it wakes up with glitchy graphics, and theres a 50/50 chance itll continue working just fine, or get stuck and make me have to force shutdown and reboot
[19:15] <bill-bezos> i read about it in the manual and it seems to be a common problem, but i was hoping there might be a way to fix it
[19:15] <bill-bezos> xubuntu 20.04 on an hp compaq 8510p with ati mobility radeon hd2600
[19:15] <bill-bezos> is there any useful logs i can provide?
