Install FingerPrint Reader in Ubuntu
So I wanted to start using the finger print reader on my IBM Thinkpad T43p; however, was unable to due to lack of driver support. Nevertheless, Google showed me options form other sources on how to get this to work. Now the only problem was that some of the files didn’t exactly exist where they should be. So I went ahead and said, “Why not just change the script and host the files for all to enjoy.” Well doing that… and now I’m back to square one… Ubuntu doesn’t play well.
Well if you’d like to change up the script please do so, and make it work. So it’ll be as easy as launching terminal and typing:sudo bash fingerprint.sh
and it will install the fingerprint reader.
So all you need to do right now is download this file titled fingerprint.sh and run it from terminal with the above command. Now granted it breaks at configuration because the script was written for Fedor/RedHat systems… but I’m sure you can manage past that.
