Check permissions on your $HOME/.thinkfinger.bir file. Mine was owned by root and everything worked except gnome-screensaver. Changing ownership to me solved the problem. I had done the enrollment using 'sudo tf-tool --acquire' because it claimed that the USB device couldn't be claimed when run as me (a reboot seemed to make that go away).
You should be able to run (as your user) 'tf-tool --verify' to check your fingerprint and if that works then everything else should just work. (Related topic) As a double bonus I had given up on thinkfinger with gutsy as the network manager insisted my keyring have a password so I was always forced to type in a password anyway. With Hardy that is no longer an issue. -- (gutsy) lock screen doesn't support fingerprint readers driven by thinkfinger https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138957 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
