I guess the way to go about would be through a Solid backend that could handle fprintd [1] and possibly the binary blob from UPEK [2]. There is one other fingerprint reading tool on Linux that makes use of both fprintd, and BSAPI if the user chooses so, that might be of interest [3].

Better integration in KDE would be nice (e.g. http://blog.djaara.net/wordpress/2009/04/23/kdm-and-locked-screensaver-with-fingerprint-plugin/), but AFAIK isn't specifically required for unlocking the screen. 1777025 2 andrew.crouthamel 2018-09-04 15:48:21 +0000 Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try again with the latest version and submit a new bug to frameworks-solid if your issue persists. Thank you!
