    Fingerprint reader not detected

    I followed steps in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669245 to install fingerprint software, but even after a reboot, it does not detect that I have a fingerprint reader. I do, I'm using a serval laptop (model FL90). Can anything else be done for it?

    Make sure you have the latest version of the System76 Driver (it's currently 2.6.1), then go to System > Administration > System76 Driver. Click on the Install Drivers tab, then click install.

    Did that fix it?

    When you ran the commands to enable the fingerprint reader, did any of them give you an error?

    Nuh, and it's all installed okay:

    Code:
    vadi@vadi-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install fingerprint-gui policykit-1-fingerprint-gui libbsapi
    [sudo] password for vadi: 
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    fingerprint-gui is already the newest version.
    policykit-1-fingerprint-gui is already the newest version.
    libbsapi is already the newest version.

    Same lack of detection on 11.04 beta as well, unfortunately
