[Hardy Feature Request] Add support for biometric fingerprint reader

Edgy should include 'bioapi' to support fingerprint readers
I think fprint is the way to go, there are several reasons listed in the
fprint FAQ why it is more useful than bioapi.

Why not try another tool for fingerprint reading like fprint? It
seamlessly works in Gutsy

It's not quite bioapi, but I've filed a sync request for Debian's
experimental thinkfinger package, and it was recently filled in hardy.

The guy did everything there, including usability testings on ubuntu ...
let's just implement it!
I really doubt that this kind of software can't be shipped due to legal
issues. My computer, a Toshiba R20 tablet pc, has a fingerprint reader,
and you can login just by swiping the finger.

At the moment, there are serious barriers to adopting this software for Ubuntu,
but I'm working on fuzzing the edges. These problems are:
* Lacks translations
* Requires uinput readable by user
* Requires ACLs to make gnome-screensaver work
* Stores authentication data in a strange place
* Does
Justin, Jorn :
Okay, so I guess what we need here is to :
* clearly define the goal on some visible place
* figure out what it takes to get there
* split that work in multiple bugs/blueprints
* get people to make the tasks
Can anyone, who knows better how to make things happen here than me,
It's unsafe for a few reasons:
1. As far as I know, PAM doesn't handle this, so you'd be
2. Fingerprints can't work with hashes. The fingerprint scans are noisy
enough that no two scans can be assumed identical. Instead auth systems
compare stored minutia to the current scan, and introduce

Thanks for the information. I searched a little bit, and found valuable

The most interesting thing that I saw was a Diploma Thesis from Josef Hajas
(2005) : https://dip.felk.cvut.cz/browse/pdfcache/hajasj1_2007dipl.pdf The
title is : Integration of a biometric user
It's an interesting document. Unfortunately, I live in the US and we
have export controls on things I believe akin to the many to one
concept. I have no idea why this law enforcement related software would
be banned for export. Perhaps I shall write an inquiry to my
Congressmen. The paper is
I have installed thinkfinger today. Besides the rought edges, I can't
only swipe my finger to login ... if I have to type to use the
fingerprint reader, there is no more fun on using it ...
is there anyone doing anything to support the fingerprint readers out
there ?
how can I keep updated of

Last night I went about getting thinkfinger packaged and uploaded on my
ppa. It works in Gutsy, but there are many rough edges. If you're
feeling gutsy, you can add my ppa and see just how well it works.
More importantly, it's not bioapi. I'll take a look at that this
weekend and see whether
Is there any work being done to make this happen in Gutsy(+x)?

This is absolutely still an issue in Feisty, however, I agree with many
of the folks who say that a security package like this should be
completely OSS. I would encourage Ubuntu developers to focus on the
feature specification at: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec
/fingerprint-authentication.

I've got it to work in gdm and the console, but not gksudo. In fact,
doing an admin task that uses gksudo has the annoying feature of quietly
timing out when the reader software fails to load, requiring a second
request to get the password dialog. Also, the document on thinkwiki

Obviously a first step in the right direction would be to attempt to use
the source from Ubuntu packages instead of directly from CVS. apt-get
source and apt-get build-dep should be very helpful in determining
whether the patches apply cleanly to Ubuntu's current system. Of

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have
the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a
specification for this.
You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs

i agree. bioapi needs to be supported and used more. also by working out
all the problems now, then once fingerprint readers are more widely
accepted, ubuntu will have full support with minimal bugs.
