THe fprint PPA has seen quite a few updates lately:
https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fprint
For my Authentec 1600 this means full integration and configuration via
system settings (even in 12.04 LTS, contrary to what the documentation
indicates) at login and CLI sudo prompts. Keep in mind Ubuntu 10.10 is
now out of support, the PPA has packages for supported Ubuntu versions
(including 10.04 LTS).
To test such packages:
1. Add this PPA to your sources:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fingerprint/fprint
2. Update your packages database, upgrade packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
3. Install the software:
sudo apt-get install libfprint0 fprint-demo libpam-fprint gksu-polkit
The above indicated using the libpam-fprint package, although the docs
indicate libpam-fprintd (which wasn't found in my test).
Also keep in mind many fingerprint readers are in fact optical scanners
so the accuracy will vary when registering/using fingerprints.
