How to enable finger printer with Thinkpad X230

How to enable finger printer with Thinkpad X230

Posted by ivo on October 2, 2018

I am a newbie with Ubuntu and Linux, and I just switched from Windows 8. I have installed 12.04 on my new Lenovo Thinkpad x230. It seems everything else works perfectly except the finger printer. I have been using Finger Printer for a long time, and I really rely it on for my Lastpass application. But I don’t know how to enable or install the driver of the finger printer. Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

For 13.04 and newer For the X220/X230: (ubuntu 18.04 Lts is work)

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install libpam-fprintd libfprint0 fprint-demo fprintd  

Then run this command to configure pam:

Finally enroll your finger with:
