https://bbs.archlinux.org – I have followed the tutorial on the Arch Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fingerprint-gui) to enable fingerprint authentication using the fingerprint-gui, changing the files /etc/pam.d/sudo and /etc/pam.d/su as described.su is working fine with fingerprint, however when I try to use sudo, first it prompts for a password, like this:"Password:"Then if you type anything, it asks for the real password:"[sudo] password for eric:"I can't understand why su works fine and sudo does not. My files look like this:/etc/pam.d/su#%PAM-1.0auth        &#1 (HowTos)

Fingerprint in Ubuntu 43 weeks 2 days ago

My laptop (HP ProBook 4530) has a fingerprint device but ubuntu 12.04 didn't install it I installed Fingerprint-GUI it tells me no device detected.

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

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 ).

Hello everyone.

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

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.

I just set up the fingerprint reader, which is pretty cool, but I have an encrypted home directory which it does not unlock when I log in, so I still have to manually enter my password. Is there a setting to fix this?

Also, there's a little graphic that comes up when I'm prompted for my password/fingerprint ... it looks terrible.

By tty I mean outside of X, from the console, init level 3.Wouldn't using sudo be enough?

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.

I'm an Android application development in Korea. When you run an application that I made, the application will be terminated without any error message occasionally, I can not proviso that "Build fingerprint" in adb came out to confirm anything.

Is there a way to be able to interpret the "Build fingerprint" I? If, How should be interpreted? thanks
