After realizing that this needs to be done with your thumb rather than any other finger, I got this to work for myself on an M09 system using the packages in the PPA. Works fairly well.
A few things stick out about this implementation: 1) The login screen's new phrase "password or swipe finger" is too wide for the default theme 2) gksudo doesn't indicate that you can swipe instead of type a password (although you can) 3) The old "[sudo] password for $user:" prompt is missing the [sudo] prefix. -- [Hardy Feature Request] Add support for biometric fingerprint reader https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
