My system is up to date (at least I install everything that auto-updater reports) and I have the packages from Jon Oberheide's PPA suggested in the discussion of the 256429 bug:
$ dpkg -l | grep thinkfinger ii libpam-thinkfinger 0.3+r118-0ubuntu4~ppa1 ii libthinkfinger0 0.3+r118-0ubuntu4~ppa1 ii thinkfinger-tools 0.3+r118-0ubuntu4~ppa1 I tried removing these and installing the packages from main repository, but the only thing that changes is the notorious extra carriage return. The unlock dialog still hangs in the vast majority of cases when I enter password or swipe finger. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. Also, I noticed that when I poke the screensaver, a line like this Nov 14 18:43:11 tizhbulatov kernel: [ 1483.142341] input: Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard as /devices/virtual/input/input11 appears in /var/log/messages regardless the versions of packages. And the input$N is incremented every time. Seems like the kernel emits an event for a newly discovered input device which is somewhat suspicious. -- (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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
