[Bug 429070] Re: Upek Fingerprint Reader does not work

[felixcorrales]

Ubuntu 10.04, fingerprint-gui-0.14

I had a network problem too, after I followed the next procedure

http://www.n-view.net/Appliance/fingerprint/Install-step-by-step.pdf

I solved my network problems by using the "Password Store"

"There are applications that need a password for encrypting or decrypting something on your system.
Probably gnome-keyring is the most widespread of such applications. Also an encrypted home
directory needs a password to decrypt when a user logs in. These applications sometimes get their
key for decrypting (e.g. for the password safe) by querying the PAM session environment for the
password given by the user at login. But when the user was logged in with a fingerprint there is no
password stored in the PAM session environment. So the application will prompt the user for a
password when needed (e.g. if a wireless WPA connection has to be established by the Gnome
Network Manager or if you want to access your email account with Evolution) even if the user was
logged in already.


Since version 0.11 of Fingerprint GUI there is a solution: You can use some removable media
(USB stick) to save your (encrypted) password there. If the media is connected to your machine
while you login with your fingerprint the “pam_fingerprint-gui.so” module can decrypt the
password and send it to the PAM session environment."
