On this laptop several years back I had Windows installed and I configured figerprint to work. When using it I got my hair grey. I can type very fast with 10 finger blind, so I can type password much faster then use the fingerprint. Fingerprint is problem, sometimes it works, sometimes id does not. Don't like it.
Then when I have purge Windows I installed Ubuntu (don't know with version it was several years back) and never have any problem with spinning or CPU eating. Now when I have fresh install Ubuntu 16.04 I got directly into a problem. It may be a driver problem or something similar. Don't know. The answer: I don't do anything special with figerprint reader. Actually if special means I am not using it, then I'm doing something special. :) Is there a way to disable this device or uninstall driver, because I just don't need it. By the way if it helps I am using Thinkpad T60 laptop (at the time I have got it, it was IBM laptop, now this laptops are Lenovo). It looks like this is hardware specification: https://support.lenovo.com/si/sl/documents/migr-62722 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589585 Title: Ubuntu Software tab Installed refreshing endlessly every 2 seconds Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 32-bit. After each install for years one of the first thing I do is uninstall some of the applications that I don't need to preserve some downloading/installing of applications that I don't need. I opened Ubuntu Software, click on Installed tab and now the problem appears. Every two seconds whole screen gets to gray and refreshing appears which takes 2 seconds. This loops endlessly. It is very frustrating, because Ubuntu Software is unusable in my case. I have asked the question on forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2326701&p=13498876 and one of suggestion was to remove the software and install it back. I did: sudo apt install gnome-software sudo apt purge gnome-software sudo apt autoremove sudo apt autoclean sudo apt install gnome-software Started Ubuntu Software and the problem remains the same. P.S. New problem appeared now Ubuntu Software icon on Launcher is not the same (orange color), but it has changed (white color). But this is not huge problem, just annoyance.
