Finger print scanner x220 ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I ran this code: sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:fingerprint/fprint sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libfprint0 fprint-demo libpam-fprintd gksu-polkit

Then entered my fingerprint with this: fprint_demo It saved. Then I ran this line of code: fprintd-enroll

I then rebooted, it didn't work, still asked for my regular password, I checked the bios, fingerprint scanner enabled. Can any one help me get this working?

  1. You need to edit the configuration file at /etc/pam.d/common-auth by typing the command sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-auth and adding the line auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so above the line that reads auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass.

  2. Please use Fingerprint scanner GUI and it works perfectly on my T450 and X220. The ppa is at https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui
