sailfish-fpd won't start (Xperia X fingerprint)

Humm... didn't work apparently:

The other thing you can try is to reinstall fpd package (I did it too). Please, disable others repositories (openrepos) before doing that:

devel-su

systemctl stop sailfish-fpd.service

pkcon refresh

pkcon install sailfish-devicelock-fpd

pkcon install sailfish-fpd

pkcon install sailfish-fpd-slave-f5121

exit

reboot

@spiiroin - could you elaborate on this https://together.jolla.com/question/193386/xperia-xa2-fingerprint-not-working/.

It seems that the fingerprint support for the XA2 was reported not to be working on the original release announcement, but in one of the latest revisions, it got removed. So should it work or not? (Sorry for going a bit off topic...)

I only got curious since the CSD tool in my XA2 gives the same error as OPs:

Timeout while communicating with fingerprint daemon

Pasting my resulst here just in case:

[root@Sailfish nemo]# ssu-sysinfo
model: h4113
designation: h4113
manufacturer: Sony
pretty_name: Xperia XA2 - Dual SIM

[root@Sailfish nemo]# find /system/ -name '*finger*so'
/system/lib64/android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1.so
/system/lib/android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1.so

[root@Sailfish nemo]# /usr/lib/sailfish-fpd/fpslave --log-to=stderr --log-level=debug --list
bash: /usr/lib/sailfish-fpd/fpslave: No such file or directory

@raketti: Currently fingerprint scanner in XA2 is not supported. The CSD test will timeout just because the service is not (and should not) be installed on the device. The test should be augmented a bit to provide more sensible diagnostics in that case....

Hi @spiiroin, I've noticed that I have this bug (sailfish-fpd sometimes doesn't start when I reboot my phone) since I've updated to Sailfish3. How can I send you a log to know what is causing that?

Hi @spiiroin again, fingersprint doesn't work for me today again and I get "fpmodule_open_device: module.open() -> error=-22" in journalctl.

I've followed your instruccions and run the next commands:

@carmenfdezb Everything looks ok until that android hal call returns error. It most likely logs something via android logging mechanism before that.

To gain some visibility, you could open one ssh connection to the device and run logcat (wait until it calms down and leave it running)

/system/bin/logcat

Then another ssh connection from which you do the same things as earlier and look for lines containing "FPC" that appear in logcat output about the same time as fpd fails.
