That's why the fingerprint reader doesn't exist on Linux versions of this notebook.
I saw that people were complaining that Dell lied when they sold the Ubuntu laptop with hardware that could not be used. They wanted a credit for the non-functioning hardware they had paid for. $20 USD or something like that. I think Dell said, screw this. We'll just remove the hardware. So the joke is on the complainers: now there will be less chance for Linux support as the hardware is no longer present. It takes all kinds of people...
Anyway, all good progress. Time to stop messing around and get to work with this thing.
So no more fun :)
I have a Thunderbolt device that I am curious about. It came with a Lenovo laptop, so I'm really just screwing around to see what works and what does not work. When I plug it in, some messages are given. But none of the hardware is activated. I'm new to Thunderbolt. I would have thought that the hardware would be sort of like USB in that the Linux device driver would work everywhere that has a Thunderbolt interface. Of course, I don't know if the Lenovo Thunderbolt thing works on Linux on a Thinkpad. So that's something to play with. I've also not explored the display port stuff and my antiquated displays. Something else to play with. But this is a work laptop. I will have to muck about with these thins on my own time... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
