Title:
Setting up fingerprint reader is clunky
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
There seems to be no easy way to set up a fingerprint reader (in this
case, aes2501). According to an older tutorial* there should be an
option in the User Accounts window to set it up, but something like
that was not present in my 12.04 installation.
Anyway, I ended up doing manually:
1) sudo apt-get install libfprint0 libpam-fprint
2) pam_fprint_enroll
3) sudo pam-auth-update
Not that hard actually, but as the drivers from the fprint project
seem to work quite well, having a straightforward graphical
configuration would be the icing on the cake.
