[Thinkfinger-devel] Stopped Working

[Joshua Rubin]

Hi All,

thinkfinger just stopped working for me over the last two days. I have tried
the latest svn too. No idea what is going on... I am running Debian Etch
x86_64. Everything had been working just fine.

Here is the output of tf-tool:
# tf-tool --acquire --verbose

ThinkFinger 0.2.2 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)

Running in verbose mode.

* Mode: acquire
* Biometric identification record file: '/tmp/test.bir'

Initializing... done.

Any thoughts?

One more thing...

After running tf-tool (and failing), the reader gets extremely hot. Might this
be a hardware issue? That would be strange...

Thanks,

Hi Timo,

This should be solved with the code from SVN.

Thanks for the response. The issue with it not working started out of nowhere
and stopped just as strangely. It is working again, I changed nothing.

Thanks,
Joshua

Sounds very strange, no idea.

Would be cool if you could give the current SVN a try. I just committed
the last two weeks of not-so-funny work.
