Login using fingerprint reader

rated 0 times [ 17] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 101101 / 2 Years ago, mon, october 3, 2022, 10:42:00

I have a fingerprint reader on my Dell Vostro. Does anyone know of any proper Fingerprint reader which can integrate with LightDM?
I have heard of Fingerprint GUI but that works with GDM as per the development notes.
It would be great if someone can let me know.

Thanks

Fingerprint GUI is working just fine in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta1 (LightDM). You can log in, unlock screen, and authenticate everything in the GUI and also "sudo's" in a terminal.
I'm using it on an old ThinkPad R52 with integrated SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader.
