Bug Description
Binary package hint: thinkfinger-tools
I was able to use my fingerprint reader for logging in to Ubuntu with version 8.10; however, when upgrading to 9.04 it stopped working. I checked the pam.d/common-auth (comments removed):
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_deny.so
from the command line I am able to verify that the fingerprint reader is working and that it matches my fingerprint; however, even though the login screen says to type password or use fingerprint, scanning my finger does not work.
fyi, I running on a Dell XPS M1330
