Timur,

I presume that you mean "after locking the screen you should see 'Password or swipe finger: ' prompt in the unlock dialog but unlocking doesn't work. Swiping finger
has no effect and after entering password the dialog hangs saying 'Checking...'."

I am not sure what was unclear about "makes it work for me now", but after changing the group membership of /dev/input/uinput to plugdev, I successfully unlock the screensaver dialog with thinkfinger. Yes, on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid.
