fringerprintGUI for ubuntu
nstallation
=========
0. First of all, if you have installed Fingerprint GUI manually before, get rid of it completely. Remove all binaries, shared libraries, any other files and undo all the changes you have made to your system config files (especially to files under /etc/pam.d/).
1. Add this PPA to your sources.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint
sudo apt-get update
2. Install fingerprint-gui.
sudo apt-get install fingerprint-gui policykit-
3. If you have a fingerprint reader supported by the FPrint project (devices listed at http://
sudo apt-get install libbsapi
4. Log out of your session and log back in (we need GConf to pick up the new default settings for the screensaver and your PolicyKit daemon to be restarted).
Setup
=====
After installation go to System > Preferences > Fingerprint GUI and enrol your fingerprints.
That should be all you need to do!
Try locking your screen, starting Synaptic, sudo in terminal and logging out and in.
Uninstallation
===========
GNOME users: The package policykit-
sudo apt-get install policykit-1-gnome
sudo apt-get remove fingerprint-gui
KDE SC users: The above instructions for GNOME users apply to you as well, just replace “policykit-1-gnome” by “polkit-kde-1” throughout the text.
Note on GNOME session login (optional)
=======
By default, the GDM login screen presents a list of users from which you
select, and then you can authenticate with your fingerprint. However,
you can set things up in a way that you can enrol your fingerprint
immediately, and the username will be recognized from the fingerprint.
In order to achieve this, perform these two steps:
1. In /etc/pam.d/gdm, insert the following as the first line:
auth optional pam_fingerprint
2. Disable user list in GDM. You can use the following long command to do this.
"sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:
If you would like to revert, simply delete the new line from
/etc/pam.d/gdm and run “sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:
