Hi everybody !
we are a french group of artists, currently developping an installation in-situ
in Tours (France).
The whole work deals with fingerprints considered as a graphical element and a
way to question people about biometry.
Our installation (temporarily named "digimap") uses a microsoft fingerprint
reader on ubuntu studio. We're not using the authentification functions yet,
and all we have to do is to detect the presence of a finger on the device, scan
it and use binarization and minutiae detection functions.
I've been compiling libfprint 0.0.6 (thanks for this release !) on an old
Toshiba laptop running Ubuntu and it works great. Our device would not be
detected with 0.0.5 version.
The actual problem is that I would like to use the same device on a Lenovo R61i
7650 A9G with Ubuntu studio. I've installed the same .dev libraries we needed
to run it on Ubuntu, but it doesn't work! In Fprint demo, the device is
detected (it flashes red lights) and the required driver is identified
(URU4000), but the dialog box says "Could not open device"
As I'm a newbie to Linux, Ubuntu, and Libfprint, Il would appreciate very much
any troubleshooting suggestion or related experiences ! The first version of
our project is supposed to be ready and on 15th march.
thanks a lot !
