Request for libfprint port for 2808:a658

Ah, I think I somewhat understand what you meant, there this file /lib/pkgconfig/libfprint-2.pc in libfprint derivation which had the following contents

$ cat /nix/store/48b5w5isr70y14vx38nmbpjfz8ww3i5c-libfprint-1.94.6/lib/pkgconfig/libfprint-2.pc
prefix=/nix/store/48b5w5isr70y14vx38nmbpjfz8ww3i5c-libfprint-1.94.6
includedir=/nix/store/48b5w5isr70y14vx38nmbpjfz8ww3i5c-libfprint-1.94.6/include
libdir=${prefix}/lib

Name: libfprint-2
Description: Generic C API for fingerprint reader access
Version: 1.94.6
Requires: gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.56, gobject-2.0 >= 2.56
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfprint-2
Cflags: -I${includedir}/libfprint-2

Yes, the location is hardcoded in this, and copying it directly to my our derivation won’'t change it. I’ll test this out and let you know.
Let me know if that is what you were referring to.

Ah, I meant to look at the difference between those files. The unix CLI utility to do that is diff (I prefer diff -u) which is why that’s the colloquial term used to describe looking at the difference between two files.

imsick · November 7, 2024, 8:53am

Sorry to be unclear, I meant to ask which two files to diff.

Atemu · November 7, 2024, 9:06am

The respective pkg-config files. Upstream distributes one and apparently the fprintd drv can’t make use of it (that’s what the error message implies).

Okay, so I updated the install phase to correctly add pkg-config file, the custome derivation didn’t contain one. I ensured that the paths lead to the custom derivation and not libfprint (which was the case when I simply copied all the files from libfprint derivation.

This time the libfprint-2 not found error didn’t show up. Instead a python module error was there, which I solved by adding the lib/girepository-1.0 from libfprint derivation. Also lib/pkgconfig/libfprint-2.pc file mentioned the header libraries include/ so I directly copied that to the custom derivation (along with libexec because it looked important (update: error message is same without libexec)).

Running nixos-rebuild switch, this time python error was also absent, but it hit an error during later in fprintd derivation.

Here is the diffoscope of the two derivations (libfprint and the custom one) generated with --exclude 'libfprint-2*' flag. This would exclude the .so library and some files in libexec. They are too verbose and I don’t believe are relevant. (diff file size is 3.3mb when zipped, 27mb unpacked)

The -L needs to point at the libdir, not the includedir. Just make this the same as the original, it uses variables and will work.

That also explains your symptom: the linker can’t find the .so and therefore the symbols aren’t present.

imsick · November 7, 2024, 1:24pm

Uh, sorry about that, I made a typo. What you said is logical and resonable, but unfortunately the error persists.

This is slightly tangential to what we have discussed till now.

I noticed the word “tod” on the github repo of debian file from which I’m building. Which made me think maybe I should refer other tod libfprint derivations. I referred to libfprint-2-tod1-elan

github.com

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/dba414932936fde69f0606b4f1d87c5bc0003ede/pkgs/development/libraries/libfprint-2-tod1-elan/default.nix#L35-L41


      
          installPhase = ''
            runHook preInstall
          
          
  install -Dm444 libfprint-2-tod1-elan.so -t "$out/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/"
          
          
  runHook postInstall
          '';

I went to its build source and got to know it is working just by copying a bare OEM .so shared object library file into its derivation (library file is already downloaded and unpacked from zip after fetch). And as per nix docs, all they need to do is in their configuration.nix file. NixOS Search

https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Fingerprint_scanner

# Start the driver at boot
systemd.services.fprintd = {
  wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
  serviceConfig.Type = "simple";
};

{
  # Install the driver
  services.fprintd.enable = true;
  # If simply enabling fprintd is not enough, try enabling fprintd.tod...
  services.fprintd.tod.enable = true;
  # ...and use one of the next four drivers
  services.fprintd.tod.driver = pkgs.libfprint-2-tod1-elan;
}

I tried to implement this as well. Here is my attempt

fp.nix

{ stdenv, lib, fetchurl, dpkg, glib, gusb, pixman, libgudev, nss, libfprint, cairo, pkg-config, libfprint-tod, autoPatchelfHook, openssl }:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "libfprint-2-tod1-focaltech";
  version = "0.0.1";

  src = fetchurl {
    url = "https://github.com/ftfpteams/RTS5811-FT9366-fingerprint-linux-driver-with-VID-2808-and-PID-a658/raw/b040ccd953c27e26c1285c456b4264e70b36bc3f/libfprint-2-2_1.94.4+tod1-0ubuntu1~22.04.2_amd64_rts5811.deb";
    hash = "sha256-vH1SbJ+/Uro7IQKM/SNUo44ySZqMwj+SgmmzOmwAgpw=";
  };

  nativeBuildInputs = [
    dpkg
    pkg-config
    autoPatchelfHook
  ];

  buildInputs = [
    openssl
    stdenv.cc.cc
    glib
    gusb
    pixman
    nss
    libgudev
    libfprint
    cairo
  ];

  unpackPhase = ''
    dpkg-deb -x $src .
  '';

  installPhase = ''
    runHook preInstall
    install -Dm444 usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfprint-2.so.2.0.0 -t $out/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/
    runHook postInstall
  '';

  passthru.driverPath = "/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/";
}

configuration.nix

{
  nixpkgs.overlays = [
    (self: super: {
      libfprint-2-tod1-focaltech = super.callPackage ./fp.nix {};
    })
  ];

  systemd.services.fprintd = {
    wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
    serviceConfig.Type = "simple";
  };

  services.fprintd = {
    enable = true;
    tod = {
      enable = true;
      driver = pkgs.libfprint-2-tod1-focaltech;
    };
  };
}

This builds just fine but doesn’t work.

$ sudo fprintd-enroll 
Impossible to enroll: GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.NoSuchDevice: No devices available

It feels like I’ve done something wrong in my life.

Update: Okay, that’s on the library, after inspecting journalctl -e | rg fprint here is what I found.

The error is libfprint-2-tod1-focaltech.so doesn't expose the required entry point symbol

tldr (of whole discourse): I’m too dumb. Sorry for so much trouble. Thank you for all the help. Here is the derivation which should work.

Apparently the derivation obtained at Request for libfprint port for 2808:a658 - #28 by imsick was totally fine. I didn’t notice the amd64 in downloaded debian file name, and worked under assumption that it is for my system. I updated the download link and hash to that of rpm file in the given download git repo, and now fingerprint sensor work as expected!

fp.nix

    enable = true;
    # Replace the default libfprint package with our custom one
    package = pkgs.fprintd.override { libfprint = pkgs.libfprint-focaltech; };
  };
  services.udev.packages = [ pkgs.libfprint-focaltech ];
}

I tried the tod method, but that didn’t work. But okay, I find this message to be much more cleaner and better, and everything is good when it works.

Thank you!

Update:
I created a nixpkgs pull request for this to be included. libfprint-focaltech-2808-a658: init at 1.94.4 by dvishal485 · Pull Request #354311 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
This will also close my previous github issue for package request.

I am 7 months too late to discover this…

@imsick I tried the derivation from nixpkgs on my Vivobook

services.fprintd = {
    enable = true;
    package = pkgs.fprintd.override {
        libfprint = pkgs.libfprint-focaltech-2808-a658;
    };
};

services.udev.packages = [pkgs.libfprint-focaltech-2808-a658];

got the following error:

pardon me if i am doing anything wrong, i dunno how this works.

imsick · June 10, 2025, 1:11pm

This “error” is due to the fact that fprintd version in NixOS-25.05 was updated to v1.94.5, and the newer version of fprintd is not compatible with libfprint version <1.94.9

The compiled library which the developer of this focaltech fingerprint library provided is compiled against libfprint v1.94.4, hence the fprintd compilation fails here.

If you want to use fingerprint on NixOS-25.05 (or above), you will need either upgrade the package provided by dev (which is not straightforward as we don’t have the source code) or downgrade the libfprint version.

On a flake based system, you can achieve this by

# flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    pinned-pkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.11";
  };
  # in output pass this as `specialArgs`
};

# configuration.nix
{
  pinned-pkgs,
  pkgs,
  ...
}:
let
  patched-fprintd = pinned-pkgs.fprintd.override {
    libfprint = pinned-pkgs.libfprint-focaltech-2808-a658; # or pkgs.libfprint-focaltech-2808-a658
  };
in
{
  services.fprintd = {
    enable = true;
    package = patched-fprintd;
  };
}

for non-flake setup something like this could work
