[opensuse] Fingerprint reader and 10.3
I have an HP X86_64 laptop running 10.3 still. Is it possible to configure the fingerprint reader with this release? Shows up "not configured" in Yast HW scan. Google search didn't seem to provide any useful links.didn't remember when she -- Jim

On my HP NW9440 (32-bit) I've never been able to configure it. (10.3 currently) - I think it is an Authentec model, if that helps. I kind of gave up, as I always forget my fingerprint and have to write it down. http://tuxmobil.org/laptop_fingerprint_reader_linux.html http://home.gna.org/aes2501/index_en.html http://www.bioapi.org/ -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.filesite.org a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi On a terminal you must run lsusb to see what type of hardware you have, then you can go to the following site http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Supported_devices and see if your device is supported, I think most HP use AES2501 which is supported. If your device is supported you can add the following repository to Yast: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dgege/openSUSE_Factory, look for fprint and install all the dependencies. Then you must run in terminal fprint_demo to run the graphical interfacce for enrolling your fingerprints, after that you may need to do some PAM configuration, use this page to see the changes http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Pam_fprint#Setup Sometimes no dialog appear letting you know that the fingerprint verification is needed so if you see that a program doesn't run validate your fingerprint (in yast you must validate it to or three times) Hope this helps, any issue, let me know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Minor correction: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_10.3 The only thing at the other address is an FTP program.

Got it! http://www.donutmonster.com/stuff/2009/20090117_fprint_demo.jpg
