http://askubuntu.com – I've got a new laptop which is Lenove's E420s. And I have encountered a big problem that I can't make the fingerprint reader work properly. I've also tried fingerprint-gui. But unfortunately, it's told that "No Device Found". Here is my screenshot: http://ge.tt/98Xg2WD/v/0 It's said that 147e:1002 is supported by fingerprint-gui on the official website. So, I'm curious about the situation. Anybody knows? P.S: I'm using gentoo, but I think this problem may not have anything to do with distribution since I compiled the source from official site.

Stories similar to fingerprint-gui can not recognize my upek reader (147e:1002)

Hello everyone.

After reading a guide on my laptop built-in fingerprint reader and how to get it to work, I am having troubles.

http://www.aldeby.org/blog/howto-ubu.../9#fingerprint

I tried to follow tips from this blog: http://volker.de/2012/12/fingerprint-gui-und-das-thinkpad-t430s/

Guy has exactly same device and in same PC but as i expected it didn't work for me.

I updated libbsapi.so libs into /usr/lib too.

But for some reason fingerprint-gui don't realize that device is there.

p.s. I downloaded, build (with miner issues) Fingerprint-gui Version 1.04.

Hi. I have an old Dell vostro 1320 laptop. I installed fedora 16 on it, every thing works good. but I want to login with fingerprint. My fingerprint model is:

Code: 147e:1000 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor Fedora can support this fingerprint and I can enable "fingerprint login" in "User Accounts" Dialog box.

Hi all,I have a new HP dv6 with a fingerprint reader from Validity Sensors. Me, and a lot of other HP owners are unable to use the fingerprint reader, because there are no linux drivers for it (even fprint wouldn't recognize it).Now, the Validity sensor website has provided a linux setup for the reader, but it is only in rpm.

Hi,

I am not sure if what I would like to do is doable at all, but here it is:

I installed fedora but sadly it does not support my fingerprint reader (upek 0x2020 ).

I've followed just about every fprint guide I can find, but my fingerprint reader on my HP dm4-3090se still does not work. The driver cannot be found.

Is there no compatible driver for the AES2665 fingerprint reader?

Running Ubuntu 9.10

So I installed libpam-fprint, fprint-demo, libfprint-dev, etc..

Enrolled fingerprint..

Added the following 2 lines to /etc/pam.d/common-auth

Code: auth sufficient pam_fprint.so
