Re: Fingerprint applications
As far as I can tell what you need is thinkfinger
Unfortunately its not in the standard repos but there are instructions for getting it with ubuntu at
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to...th_ThinkFinger
That provides the driver and you then need some app called pam to set it up with, or at least thats my impression from that page.
Although I just noticed that at the bottom it unfortunately says:
Mind you if you just want it for a specific app then just the driver (without kdm integration) may be enough for you. Anyhow, good luck.Integration in KDE and kdm seems not to be easily possible now. There is a filed bug at kde.org where you can vote for this. -
Re: Fingerprint applications
I thought that the information came from here, but I got my reader working with fprint which is in the repos.Comment
