I got a T480 recently, and I am trying to use the Fingerprint reader on it. I installed fprintd and then ran fprintd-enroll but it hasn't worked as it says it can't find any device.


I'm really new to Linux, but would love to get my fingerprint reader working. I'm on 18.04.

I have gotten fingerprint login working on 18.04 and the sensor which comes with a T480s by using the python-validity project.


The basic install steps are



  1. Remove any existing installs of fprintd


sudo apt remove fprintd


  1. Add the python-validity PPA


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:uunicorn/open-fprintd

sudo apt-get update


  1. Install python-validity and dependencies


sudo apt install open-fprintd fprintd-clients python3-validity


  1. Enrol a fingerprint


fprintd-enroll -f fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger


  1. Enable fingerprint login


sudo pam-auth-update
