Software :: Fingerprint Scanning Perpetually Broken / Why Is So?
Apr 5, 2010
Why doesn't my laptop's built-in fingerprint scanner work in GNOME? It's fairly common (manufactured by UPEK) and I've tried fprintd and thinkfinger to no avail. The latter seems to be built for USB-attached devices and fails to find any device and the former installs and runs fine, but fails to recognize any fingerprints.
Using either fprintd-enroll or the GNOME "About Me" panel, fprintd will gladly register my fingerprint, but no amount of swiping will get it to actually recognize it afterwards. I try re-installing it every new update, but same results, what's going on?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm trying to get Empathy to connect to my Windows Live Messenger account (pretty sure that uses MSN). I punch in my email address and password, and... it just says "connecting". It's been going for about 15 minutes now with no sign of stopping. I searched for this issue, but AFAICT no one else has it that I could find.

I have a thinkpad T510i with fingerprint reader. The device is detected by opensuse 11.4. I have enabled the reader in yast, went to the user management, selected my user and started the fingerprint plugin to read my fingerprint. The readers green led is on and it asks me to move my index over the reader. When I do this, it says registering fingerprint done, do it again, Sucessful prints: 1 (the equivalent in german). Ok, I do it again and the message changes to Successful prints: 2 and so on until it says fingerprint was sucessfully registered. And now? This is all i get:
Code:
$ su - joba
Could not locate any suitable fingerprints matched with available hardware.
Passwort:
I cant find fingerprints anywhere on the disk. Where should they be located? What names would the files have?

Since yesterday my sudo doesn't work with my fingerprintreader anymore. su and GDM still do. sudo just asks me for the password instead of asking for a finger-swipe. AFAIR I changed nothing, but I accidentally forwarded the USB-Port on which the scanner is connected to VMware. I disconnected it, but maybe there could be the problem.
Fedora 12 x64, Thinkpad T61 integrated Fingerreader.

I have installed openSuSE 11.2 and my fingerprint reader have been detected on Hardware Information. But when I try to enable it on "Fingerprint Reader", it throws an error: Cannot write PAM settings as you can see on the following pic:
Is there a way to solve this problem?

I have a strange problem. Since the installation of my system, my fingerprint device has been found, but I never intended to use. Months later I wanted to try libfprint and fprintd and successfully compiled it. But when I started the fprint_demo program it said no device found. Then I typed lsusb and saw my Fingerprint device was missing.

First off is there any way to configure ubuntu to log in with a password, fingerprint and usb token? Secondly what is the difference between the standard home folder encryption and the alternate install encryption?
Thirdly is it possible on new external hard drives that incorporate thumb scanners to install truecrypt on these? Fourthly does anyone here on ubuntu forums use lastpass with the 'yubikey' device-does it work well on ubuntu? And fifthly are ironkey usb keys worth the money or are they a scam?

I am working on a project that requires fingerprint reader support. So, I installed the libfprint and libfprint-devel packages on my Fedora 14 system, to support my Authentec AES 2501 fingerprint reader. I know that my device is alright because it is working fine on the Windows 7 installed on the same system. In fedora, the fingerprint reader is recognized, when I run the fprintd-enroll command. The prompt to enroll the fingerprint is displayed on terminal. But, it just stands when I swipe my finger. I have tried everything but cannot resolve the issue. The output of usb-devices command shows "Driver=none" under fingerprint sensor usb device. But, I have the libfprint installed.

I've got a strage problem with openssh-server on debian lenny. I've done setup of sshd and basically everything works fine. I can check the fingerprint of the ssh-keys on the server and it matches with the fingerprint shown on the client for the first connection. so the key is stored in the known-hosts-file on the client.
The problem occurs after a "connection reset by peer" (i guess when the connected client goes to sleep or a timeout occures)!
After such a reset, when I try to connect to the server, the banner "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" appears and the shown fingerprint of the server-key is totally wrong (it differs from the one on the server, BUT it is everytime when this problem occurs the same fingerprint). If I nevertheless remove the correct key from the known-host-file and accept the new key, I still can't login (permission denied).
To fix this situation temporarily I just need to restart the networking on the server. After the network-restart I get (again) the correct fingerprint of the server-key and can login without problems. Until the next connection reset.

Are there any possible options to archive this w/ the 2.6.34 kernel? I know windows can do this w/ a button and BSD can drop packets when connected to closed ports...is IP personality usable in 2.6? Do I need work-arounds? any more options??Currently I've managed to @%#$ my OS fingerprints so results won't show as Linux.4/2.6...etc, but the problem is.. instead it's got the word "Redhat" in it (which is well... worse... because now.. if someone looks at my machine he/she'll know I am on either RHEL/Fedora )

I've recently noticed that whenever I log in via fingerprint reader (AES2501), my system behaves strangely.
For example, the Gnome panels take almost a full minute to appear after everything else has been loaded, and there's no NetworkManager icon in the panel - even though nm-applet (and thus NetworkManager) is running as shown by top; that can be (partially) solved by killing NetworkManager, restarting dbus, and then manually running NetworkManager.
None of that happens when logging in using a password.
Short of not using my fingerprint reader, what can I do?

I need to install a USB fingerprint reader for a customer on a system running Ubuntu. So I have 2 questions:
1. Is there any specific brand that I should go for or avoid (regarding compatibility)?
2. Is there any software package (open source) that will allow them to use the fingerprint scanner to update clock sheets for workers?

I have a Brother MFC-7440N which has Linux drivers, but I can't get useful scans yet. It prints fine, but the only scanning software I've found so far, XSane and a utility just called "Scanner Utility" are both useless.
XSane is no good because it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Scanner Utility has a few problems. Unless I set the paper size to "Legal," it keeps cutting off the bottom few inches of my (US letter-size) document. It's the same, regardless of whether I scan from the auto document feeder, or with the original on the glass. Also the orientation is screwed up. When I select "Portrait," the scan comes out rotated 90 degrees, exactly the opposite of what I'd expect.
I also don't like that there's no way to go back and change the scan settings. If I want to scan another document or at a different resolution, I have to quit Scan Utility and run it again.
Neither utility will scan to a .pdf. XSane gives the option, but like I said, it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Is there a scanning program available for Ubuntu that actually works, & will scan to a .pdf? Brother doesn't supply any scanning software for Linux, just drivers, so I have to find some 3rd-party utility.
