linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello. As of my knowledge, Dell E6500 has fingerprint reader implemented in the touchpad. I want to use that to login. I've tried installing that fprint-demo thing, but it said "drivers not detected" or something with the same meaning. Can't exactly remember. Can someone help? (Hardware)

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.

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?

Hello everyone.

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

I have not gotten around to troubleshooting this yet, but regressions always makes my hair stand up. It sucks. Dell latitude e6500 .. some broadcom wifi .. worked perfectly during setup, worked perfect upon first boot, updated a mere 300 megs of updates, a reboot was required : wifi dead .. dead as in, "hardware not there". Just wanted to share my usability experience.

The fprint project aims to plug a gap in the Linux desktop: support for consumer fingerprint reader devices.  fprintd is a D-Bus daemon that offers libfprint functionality over the D-Bus interprocess communication bus.
