I have same problem with my dell e6410 the goal of "update-usbids" was too show more details in "lsusb" command. can you check for the model of your fingerprint reader by typing "sudo lsusb"
mine is : Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor For the moment, I did not find any driver for that device. I guess it's the reason why thinkfinger/fprint tools don't find the device -- dell fingerprint reader not working at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
