I have the same problem! I have added the FPrint and Fingerprint GUI repositories and installed as described on https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint.
OS: Ubuntu 13.04 beta x86_64 Kernel: 3.8.0-15-generic Hardware: HP EliteBook 8470w lsusb output: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 138a:003d Validity Sensors, Inc. When running both the Fingerprint GUI and the fprint project demo, the device is not recognized. I found a driver for RHEL6.2-x86_64 and SLED11-SP2-GM-x86_64 on the HP Driver Disks, they can be downloaded from HP.com. I found newer versions of the driver (including i586) for sle11sp2 on http://www.validityinc.com/uploads/hp/bnb/2012/sle11sp2/ They are rpm packages, I used alien on them to convert them do deb, but the did not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101647 Title: VFS491 Validity Sensor on HP Probook 4540s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/1101647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
