Sudo apt-get install libbsapi policykit-1-fingerprint-gui fingerprint-gui I had the same issue and this worked for me: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fingerprint-gui See the latest edit () for a repository version.Ĭd to wherever you downloaded the driver to. Add a comment if the download is not working. $ sudo apt-get install fprintd libpam-fprintdĭownload the driver for the fingerprint scanner (shared via my Dropbox).
$ sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fprint Open up a terminal ( Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and add the PPA for fprintd. (See the edit for the latest git version): ĮDIT (): After recent updates to fprint, the fingerprint recognition is pretty awesome :P You can download the updated version from AUR for this package (I'll update this answer soon to include instructions as well). I don't know for sure, but you can probably build this on a 32-bit system as well.ĮDIT (): After switching to Arch Linux, I recently found out that this driver ( libfprint-vfs5011-git) is present in AUR. Fix.ĮDIT (): You can also build your own driver by compiling libfprint patched with 138a:0018 and 138a:0017 drivers (see ). If you're using ecryptfs ( What is this?) for /home, you will encounter this issue at login. Go to user accounts, and you'll see a fingerprint login option. cd to wherever you downloaded the script to and and run it with superuser: $ chmod +x install.shĪnd voila. Script for auto build and install (written by me and shared from my Dropbox). Make sure that you have packages $sudo apt-get install autoreconf libusb libusb-dev libnss3 libgdk-pixbuf2 git libtool: You might need to set up a build environment first. Ok, so after a lot of hair pulling and googling, I finally got my fingerprint sensor to work:ĮDIT (): Building the package from source.
