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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589585 Title: Ubuntu Software tab Installed refreshing endlessly every 2 seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1589585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
