HOWTO: Fingerprint reading in Ubuntu with fprint

i just installed this on my Fujitsu t4210 and it works great. thanks=D>

i followed the instructions on this page http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008...o-work-in.html

ok so after adding another account on my tablet pc is there away to add a 2nd set of prints to make it more secure ?

OMG Thanks for this, had some trouble at first, had to reboot into recovery mount drives then drop to shell to undo the changes to the file and reset password then tried again and realized I was only supposed to put the command above all of the other code in the auth config file, now it works fine!

Also did the gksu patch successfully and I am on Linux Mint 12 64-bit.

Here are the details:

$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor

$ sudo apt-get install aes2501-wy
$ sudo apt-get install libfprint0 libpam-fprint fprint-demo

All went fine.

$ sudo aes2501
argc=1 Initializing, please standby...
No device found

$ sudo fprint_demo
aeslib:error [do_write_regv] bulk write error -2
fp:error [fp_dev_open] device initialisation failed, driver=aes2501

It shows the device with a status message "Could not open the device".
Any idea? Thanks!

I have the same computer model but running Ubuntu 12.10 x86.

aes2501 command:

Code:

---

***@jdeen-hp:~$ aes2501
argc=1 Initializing, please standby...
aesSetup()...
aesStartScan()...
READY (touch the sensor to stop)
Scanning...
Assembling...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

***@jdeen-hp:~$ sudo aes2501

aesStartScan()...

(-finger print shows up in LXDE-)

fprintd-enroll command:

Code:

---

***@jdeen-hp:~$ fprintd-enroll
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right index finger.
(-no response from fingerprint reader-)

***@jdeen-hp:~$ sudo fprintd-enroll

Gui versions act the same (as does the fingerprint-gui package from David Jurenka https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+...ingerprint-gui ).

Please help me rescue my love for biometrics (;

I understand fprint isn't quite up to being a proper authentication mechanism yet, but how come anyone could enroll his fingerprint using

Code:

---

fprintd-enroll

---

For instance - an unauthorised person finds computer in logged-in state and enrolls his prints granting him all sudo rights.

can some show me exactly where to place auth sufficient pam_fprint.so? I've tried a few times i either get failed attempt 3 times without doing anything or don't need a fingerprint or password or it keeps asking for password.

I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 64bit with fingerprint reader 05ba:000a DigitalPersona, Inc. The fprint_Demo does see the device however I am unable to enroll. It does not seem to save fingerprint images. It remains at enroll left thumb. The enroll from the terminal seems to do the same thing. Any ideas? Or does anyone know where the log is?http://i.imgur.com/86r7amb.png

Hello all

There was a lot of time ago when this topic was created. Could someone summarize how it looks in Ubuntu 13.10:

1 Logging into Ubuntu using fingerprint ( multiple users, each with its own fingerprint ) .
The logon manager installed by default in Ubuntu 13.10 , gives you the opportunity ?


2 Where can I find information about which log manager is installed by default in Ubuntu 13.10 / 13.10 Lubuntu / Xubuntu 13.10 ?


3 Is it possible to omit entering the user name ? ( I would like Ubuntu only based on the scanned finger recognize the user and log on him )


4 Where in the most correct way I can define / execute automatically run the script /home/user/scripts/accepted.sh when you log in to the system ( the same behavior for each newly added user )


5 Where in the most correct way I can define / implement automatic start of script /home/scripts/declined.sh when your try to log on was unsuccessful ?


6 How to gather (collect fingerprints) people who have tried to authorize and were not entitled to it ?



Please also check my topic about using fingerprint in bash script:
