How to enable fingerprint logins (summarized from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger) for Ubuntu Intrepid.
The above page is for different Ubuntu distros, but as a quickie for Ubuntu Intrepid on Thinkpad (tested on T61 and X61):
Install:
sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger
sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable
sudo 'echo "uinput" >> /etc/modules'
modprobe uinput # for nowAdd your user:
# Login to your account
tf-tool --acquireUpdate: It seems a bit flaky and doesn't seem to identify my fingerprint consistently. Not sure if it's the hardware, software or wetware (ie. me).
