This bug is about cleaning up the (totally screwed-up) package that is
currently in ubuntu, not about any functional change. This could make
everybody's life easier that's going to work on the package in the
future, but apparently, killing off the package is a higher priority.
Not exactly the way
Why is this marked as WON'T FIX instead of FIX RELEASED? The fixed
version is in Karmic.

No, the installation order and setting up of the udev rules are
independent. Not sure why you're having a problem. As I said, I did a
clean install just the past week, went through the steps, and it is
working just fine.

You
Noel,
I have already both udev rules. I can unlock from screensaver, resuming after
hibernation, sudo, etc. However, the login screen after turning on the computer
or rebooting does not have the fingerprint option and I can only type my
password in.
It was working fine in ubuntu 9.04 but it
Yes, I can login, sudo, and unlock with thinkfinger. To perform the
latter (gdm unlock) requires a udev rule:

hi Noel,
did you manage to use finger print to log in from the log in screen?
It works fine when I have to enter my password after logging in, but I don't
have the fingerprint option in the log in screen.
thanks

hi Tom,
I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10.
Thinkfinger is working great as in 9.04, except for the login screen.
Is there already a solution for this?
I tried to update from the repository

but I obtain the following error

I have neither the time nor enough knowledge about its internals to even
consider taking over the project. I just want things to work smoothly:
Thinkfinger is stable enough that it only takes minimal effort to keep
up with minor kernel or X changes that happen over time. But one thing

Tom, thanks for your work on this. However, it's generally not a good
idea to rework orig.tar.gz files and diverge from Debian. Sticking as
close to Debian as possible means less work for us in the future
(allowing syncs and the like).
So I would normally close this bug and suggest that you
Er, FingerForce wasn't the right name. I meant fprint I guess. See

This makes no sense. If the package is dropped from debian, we should
be free to do whatever we want with the package.
fprint is not an acceptable replacement for thinkfinger, as it allows
password login only after fingerprint authentication has timed out (i.e.
after 30 seconds!).

Tom, thinkfinger is dead upstream. At this point, if you want to
continue the thinkfinger project you should consider adopting it
upstream. Hiding your patches in a bug tracker and in a debian dir is
the equivalent of three week's notice behind the sign that says Beware
of Tiger, and is not going
Actually, this is just a cleanup of the package, the fixes are already
in karmic.

Sorry, the .diff.gz I posted earlier discarded some history, so here's
an updated version that takes into account 0.3+r118-0ubuntu4. Note that
I bumped the orig.tar.gz to 0.3+r118.3 in order to avoid clashes with
debian, which has 0.3+r118.2 (which is not a proper svn export).

These are the package files to build a new version of thinkfinger for
Karmic. Official MOTU will take these files, review them and upload
them to be built on LaunchPad for Karmic. When it's done, the new
package will be available in Karmic. If you're new to Ubuntu it might be
best to wait for
Dear Tom,
I am new with ubuntu. Can you explain me what should I do with these files?
I have jaunty and a thinkpad x300. thinkfinger is woking great, no delay, no
need for carrier return and it works after resuming from the screensaver.
The only problem I have is with the multiple keyboard
