Confirmed on UX390U.

This bug should actually be a feature request. There is currently no support for elantech fingerprint scanners in libfprint. Someone needs to write a driver for it. It's proprietary, so that might be tricky.

Since the fingerprint sensor is part of the touchpad, it could be managed by this module (?). But in my configuration this is not loaded by default, and it is loaded instead hid_multitouch.ko.
Unfortunately neither load this manually and remove hid_multitouch resolves.

Hope this helps

I gave it a try with 04f3:0903:

"This program will enroll your right index finger, unconditionally
overwriting any right-index print that was enrolled previously. If you want
to continue, press enter, otherwise hit Ctrl+C

Found device claimed by ElanTech Fingerprint Sensor driver
Opened device. It's now time to enroll your finger.

You will need to successfully scan your finger 5 times to complete the
process.

Scan your finger now.

sync:error [fp_enroll_finger_img] unrecognised return code -71"

I used the 'enroll' example binary after building the code at that
location. It's not a device file permission issue. Has this worked for
anyone else?

I also gave it a try with 04f3:0903 in ASUS UX490UA.

Unfortunately I obtain the same results as Isaac Emesowum (iemesowum).

Once compiled and installed I'm able to execute fprint_demo (as superuser) and when I try to enroll I get the following errors (I enabled debugging):

elan:debug [elan_cmd_cb] unexpected transfer length
drv:debug [fpi_ssm_mark_aborted] error -71 from state 0
drv:debug [fpi_ssm_mark_completed] 0x55fae265b840 completed with status -71

I also executed enroll (in examples folder) with the same result.
I don't know anything about lsusb so I didn't manage to understand what was going on.

The branch sbechet/libfprint is only a "first try"
the developer hasn't figured out yet how to make elan work.

At the moment the device is only added to be a "supported device" but the code on the file

https://github.com/sbechet/libfprint/blob/elan/libfprint/drivers/elan.c

throws an error (-71) on this method:

static void elan_cmd_cb(struct libusb_transfer *transfer)

on line 197 -> else if (transfer->length != transfer->actual_length) //throws the error -71

I'm reporting here the message from Igor Filatov to Sébastien Béchet

I added that line to drivers/elan.c. However, after some testing it's not working reliably for me. My fingerprint is recognized in about 1 out of 10 cases only. libfprint doesn't seem to like the images provided by the sensor. Possibly some improvement in the image processing is necessary. I will look into this if I find the time.

Hello, I followed all the instructions and apparently I could install fprint correctly. However when I run sudo ./img_capture I got an error message. Also is not possible to enroll and fprint_demo cannot fing any device.

I'm running it in ubuntu 18.10 if that helps.

It appears that you have libfprint with a bug that's been fixed some time ago. It looks like an unstable version could've appeared in repos due to misunderstanding of some sort (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/143 for more info). You can try a newer git master, downgrade or wait till your pakage source (ppa? because ubuntu repos still have an older version) gets an update.
