## Installation

### finger print sensor

- The finger print sensor needs python-validityAUR to work.
- For further configuration, See Fprint#Configuration
- To prevent the sensor not working when laptop waking up, create a script in `/lib/systemd/systemd-sleep` to restart related service

    #!/bin/sh
    PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

    case "$1" in
        pre)
            #code execution BEFORE sleeping/hibernating/suspending
        ;;
        post)
            #code execution AFTER resuming
            systemctl restart open-fprintd
            systemctl restart python3-validity
            systemctl restart open-fprintd-resume.service
        ;;
    esac
    }}

- A network manager may be corrupted from resume, adding `systemctl restart <NetworkManager>` to the resume script mentioned before may help.
