Install the packages: sudo apt-get install libbsapi policykit-1-fingerprint-gui fingerprint-gui 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/).Īdd this PPA to your sources: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fingerprint-gui Supported readers (run command lsusb to find out the ID of your reader)įirst of all, if you have installed Fingerprint GUI manually before, get rid of it completely. Then, start fingerprint-gui, and it should recognize your device, and configure it happily. Then, issue the command (in my case, but adapt to your own bus and device id's): sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/003 001 here indicates its bus id, and 003 is its Device id.
Run lsusb and locate the line that may look like this Bus 001 Device 003: ID 147e:2020 Upek (actually look for the 147e:2020 Upek ID). We have to grant fingerprint-gui access to the reader's USB bus.

The code do be added is: #Added for Upek 2020 supportĪTTRS=”auto”ĭo it using either : sudo nano /lib/udev/rules.d/les or sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/les, whichever you might prefer. Then, we have to make an addition to this file: /lib/udev/rules.d/les. Then, copy this file (using sudo, or gksudo on nautilus) to the /usr/lib folder. First, figure out you architecture (32 or 64), and then locate the libbsapi.so file in either the lib folder (for 32 bit) or the lib64 folder (for 64 bit). Libbsapi's PPA currently does not really support this chipset, however, replacing the install's with the latest version will work. Sudo apt-get install libbsapi policykit-1-fingerprint-gui fingerprint-gui I searched the whole internets twice for this problem, but, good news, I found a way to make it work in all cases, so here's a small "tutorial" that compiles the info from this thread and other places: Installing the softwareįirst, add the fingerprint PPA as mentioned by the previous posts, and install the required packages: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fingerprint-gui Okay I'm running a Thinkpad X1 and the same biometric chip is on it. So it doesn't seem that my reader is supported.

I followed the tutorial you posted to install the fingerprint I followed different tutorials to enable fingerprints reading, but without luck.įingerprint GUI keeps saying no device found.
