Public bug reported: "The fprint project aims to plug a gap in the Linux desktop: support for consumer fingerprint reader devices.
Previously, Linux support for such devices has been scattered amongst different projects (many incomplete) and inconsistent in that application developers would have to implement support for each type of fingerprint reader separately. For more information on where we came from, see the project history page. We're trying to change that by providing a central system to support all the fingerprint readers we can get our hands on. The software is open source and in the long term we're shooting for adoption by distributions, integration into common desktop environments, etc. " It'd be three packages a library (libfprint), a pam module (libpam- fprint) and a testing tool (fprint_demo) Code is LGPL Project website: http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging ** Tags added: needs-packaging ** Changed in: ubuntu Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- [needs-packaging] fprint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
