After some testing with the fingerprint reader integration of ubuntu, there are some minor problems with the fingerprint use.
- The fingerprint reading is way too accurate. 1 out of 3 the fingerprint reads correctly. Maybe this is good on security standards. - The passwords keyring does not unlock if you log in with fingerprint. A popup will show to unlock the stored passwords keyring after you login. You need to log in back with your password (without fingerprint) and set a blank password on your keyring. -Everytime you do anything that needs your root password it will ask you for your fingerprint (even in the terminal). If you do not want to swipe your fingerprint you need to wait some seconds to timeout and then input your password. I think that the fingerprint integration in ubuntu has not matured to a level of reliability like in windows, but is nice to have your hardware working 100% and everything can be used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827669 Title: [138a:0018] Validity Sensors fingerprint reader not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libfprint/+bug/827669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
