Summary
I encountered an issue when trying to use BioPass with a camera device exposed as a standard V4L2 device.
My laptop camera is not supported by linux, so I used the script by https://github.com/antonbiluta/gc2607-driver which basically a custom V4L2 driver built through DKMS. And it's working well in the GNOME Camera app.
BioPass allows selecting GC2607 Camera /dev/video50 as the camera device, but after selecting it, the camera initialization fails:
Failed to start camera: Helper failed to initialize: [error] FaceAuth: Camera path '/dev/video50' was not found among libcamera devices
The device exists and works correctly with other Linux camera applications.
System
- Distro and version: Fedora44
- Kernel version: 7.*
- Desktop environment: GNOME
- Display manager:
- Package source (
.deb, .rpm, AUR, source build, other): rpm
- Biopass version: 1.4.0
