[Fingerforce-devel] Bug#982902: fprintd: Enroll not authorized

[Martin Paljak]

Package: fprintd
Version: 1.90.9-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading from version 0.8, flushing print database as requested by NEWS,
I can not enroll fresh prints, due to missing permissions

$ fprintd-enroll                    
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right-index-finger finger.
EnrollStart failed: GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.PermissionDenied: Not Authorized: net.reactivated.fprint.device.enroll

$ fprintd-verify 
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
ListEnrolledFingers failed: GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.NoEnrolledPrints: Failed to discover prints

Enrolling works for root (but I don't use fingerprints with root)
