I use the last tumbleweed from 12.07.2018, the fingerprint scanner is not even detected (in the BIOS everything is included) lspci does not even see that there is a fingerprint scanner. fprintd writes that no devices were found.
Is there no support for the fingerprint scanner for the E580 in the 4.17.4-1 core?
Strange…even if there was no kernel support, I would expect to see the chipset enumerated

The device is reported here
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 06cb:00a2 Synaptics, Inc.
but usb-devices shows no driver loaded, and indeed a quick search online shows that there is currently no Linux support for this device chipset. It’s likely using a proprietary protocol that needs to be reverse-engineered. It would be ideal if the vendor provided such support.
Are you sure? I can’t be touchpad instead of fingerprint scanner?
Reasonably sure. You can always search online for yourself of course, but I did find similar device chipsets (same vendor ID, different product ID) discussing the same, including a RH bug report discussing the unsupported status.
You could always try leaning on the vendor to provide the support…
I can’t be touchpad instead of fingerprint scanner?
I have no idea, but I wouldn’t have thought so.
I can’t be touchpad instead of fingerprint scanner?
Oh, now I think I understand what you meant here. You were wondering if that device might pertain to the touchpad? No, the touchpad is usually connected to a different interface for built-in pointing and keyboard devices. To list which such devices are present (and supported)…
sudo libinput list-devices
or
xinput
# libinput
If 'libinput' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf libinput
# xinput
If 'xinput' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf xinput
As i see, i can use leap instead of tumbleweed and don’t make a headache with often updates and glitches which, unfortunately, present.
Please, tell me, if support of my fingerprint scanner will be available in linux, will it be included into leap also?
All user soft that installed or included into the leap gets updates as soon as new version available like at tumbleweed?
You need to install ‘libinput-tools’ and ‘xinput’ for those commands.

Leap is probably a better choice for new users, and those that can’t cope with frequent upgrades and the odd regression that might come with that.
Please, tell me, if support of my fingerprint scanner will be available in linux, will it be included into leap also?
I have no idea if/when such support might be available. In general, when kernel support does become available for a given device, one must upgrade to the kernel version that now provides such support.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re asking here.
Thanks for the answers, will wait for hardware support be included into the kernel someday…
