According to an older tutorial* there should be an option in the User Accounts window to set it up, but something like that was not present in my 12.04 installation. Anyway, I ended up doing manually: 1) sudo apt-get install libfprint0 libpam-fprint 2) pam_fprint_enroll 3) sudo pam-auth-update Not that hard actually, but as the drivers from the fprint project seem to work quite well, having a straightforward graphical configuration would be the icing on the cake. *) https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/session-fingerprint.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu0.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Jul 13 06:25:15 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu2 gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu5 indicator-datetime 0.3.94-0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1024186/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
