New program: fprintd-tk
I wanted to make fprintd a little more accessible for the average desktop user (that happens to use my exact configuration, wanna bet how many that is?).
I use this on my fleet of systems now:
README for fprintd-tk
This project is a desktop application that makes it easy for a user to control fingerprint enrollments.
Upstream
The upstream project is hosted at https://bgstack15.ddns.net/cgit/fprintd-tk
Alternatives
- Use
fprintd-enrollon cli. - Use whatever probably-GNOME software is demonstrated in https://wiki.debian.org/SecurityManagement/fingerprint%20authentication
Reason for existence
I couldn't find a window-manager friendly gui for managing fingerprints.
Using
Run the program.
Dependencies
- python-tkstackrpms
- python3-tk
- python3-pil
The application really needs the user to have password-less auth permission in dbus/polkit to the fprintd actions. You will want a file like 80-fprintd.rules
Building
Python application.
