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. -- (gutsy) lock screen doesn't support fingerprint readers driven by thinkfinger https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
