Stories similar to [ubuntu] 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.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

HP Fingerprint Reader 19 weeks 2 days ago

Has anyone managed to get the Fingerprint reader working on current model (Pavilion DV6) HP Notebooks? looked into it last year but no solution. Not critical but it would be nice...:)

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.

I have a Lenovo X230 and am running Fedora 18. I have a Fingerprint reader on this machine which I use successfully during boot up. I would like to use this capability in unlocking my screen. I have libfprint, fingerprint-gui, etc. installed. I have it checked in Authentication app to engable fingerprint reader support.

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 ).
