Norman Ramsey: explain how to get brightness keys to adjust backlighting

== e1000e eeprom issue ==
I was affected by the eeprom corruption issue of kernels 2.6.27-rc*. Could anyone with a 6478-14G please post their eeprom contents so I can find out which bytes have been changed? The first six bytes are the MAC addres, you can remove it if you want to. You can get them with
ethtool -e eth0
Thank you very much! --[[User:Bse|Bse]] 16:45, 9 November 2008 (CET)

== First Report ==
I just bought one of these (model 6478-14G) and have been playing with Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 6 on it. Thus far:

Things that work:
* Graphics (including 3d and Xv). The chipset appears to be very similar to that of the X61
* trackpad and trackpoint, including scrolling
* Ethernet
* Wifi
* Bluetooth (and its enablement can be controlled via thinkpad_acpi)
* DVD drive
* Camera (although I have [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/200990 managed] to make the AVC kernel driver oops)
* [2008-4-27] You'll need gstreamer > 0.10.15 to get the camera working
* Hibernate (works properly with bios 1.02a)
* RF killswitch (turns off wifi and bluetooth devices)

Things that don't work:
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-driver/+bug/200693 Audio]:
* Latest ALSA release shows Master and PCM only in the mixer and produces no audio
* [2008-03-11] Nightly alsa-driver snapshot populates the mixer with more realistic entries, but is still silent on both speakers and headphones.
* [2008-03-14] An extremely helpful ALSA developer is making the necessary changes. An early version is able to play sound and most of the card/mixer features work.
* [2008-04-25] Patch is in git kernel now, we won't officially see it until 2.6.26 is released.
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/201037 Suspend] - the machine appears to suspend, but right at the last minute starts up again
* This turns out to be the ethernet driver failing to suspend. Removing it before suspending works fine and can be done by putting SUSPEND_MODULES="e1000" in /etc/pm/config.d/local
* Backlight control (although this is probably a recently introduced kernel bug in Hardy, which should be reverted before release)
[2008-04-28] Backlight control works fine with Hardy final release.
* WiFi LED
* [2008-04-24] Wifi LED works fine with 2.6.24 and thinkpad_acpi - fritz

Things not tested yet:
* Fingerprint scanner
** [2008-04-24] works perfectly with [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net ThinkFinger]
* USB ports (but hey, these are bound to work)
** [2008-04-24] No issues about that, works fine with flash drive and external HDD as well as HID devices
* External VGA port

Kernel 2.6.23 allowed for S3 mode (suspend to RAM) with the same issue as above (would wake up immediately if ethernet module was not unloaded first). An update to 2.6.24 removed S3 capability altogether, even with acpi_bios=s3_bios. I also noticed that thinkpad_acpi no longer shows a brightness entry in /proc/acpi/ibm unless you explicity pass brightness_enable=1 to the module.

== X300 with Debian Lenny --- a handful of failures, most of which are worked around ==

Using the latest Debian Lenny kernel, I had a host of problems:
* Ethernet won't run at 1000MB/s. Attempts to force it using ethtool lock the machine
* I had the same suspend problem an earlier user supported. Adding the e1000e driver in /etc/pm as other user described fixes this.
* To control backlight using the hotkeys, calling xbacklight on the command line works, and you can use xmodmap to map the keycodes to XF86KbdBrightnessDown and XF86KbdBrightnessUp, which you can then tell your window manager mean it should call xbacklight. ''Don't'' try to use tpb callbacks to call xbacklight, because calling xbacklight apparently generates events which makes tpb think buttons have been pressed, which sends the machine into a horrid cycle of backlight changes.
* Getting wifi up is slightly elaborate. I downloaded the firmware-iwlwifi package from Debian, but attempting to bring the wifi up bricked the machine with a blinking CapsLock light. After rebooting, wifi seems to work.
* I had trouble with sound in Skype until I realized I needed to use alsamixer to set the input to the ''internal'' mic not just the mic

Norman Ramsey: /* X300 with Debian Lenny --- a handful of failures, most of which are worked around */

I just bought one of these (model 6478-14G) and have been playing with Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 6 on it. Thus far:

Things that work:
* Graphics (including 3d and Xv). The chipset appears to be very similar to that of the X61
* trackpad and trackpoint, including scrolling
* Ethernet
* Wifi
* Bluetooth (and its enablement can be controlled via thinkpad_acpi)
* DVD drive
* Camera (although I have [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/200990 managed] to make the AVC kernel driver oops)
* [2008-4-27] You'll need gstreamer > 0.10.15 to get the camera working
* Hibernate (works properly with bios 1.02a)
* RF killswitch (turns off wifi and bluetooth devices)

Things that don't work:
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-driver/+bug/200693 Audio]:
* Latest ALSA release shows Master and PCM only in the mixer and produces no audio
* [2008-03-11] Nightly alsa-driver snapshot populates the mixer with more realistic entries, but is still silent on both speakers and headphones.
* [2008-03-14] An extremely helpful ALSA developer is making the necessary changes. An early version is able to play sound and most of the card/mixer features work.
* [2008-04-25] Patch is in git kernel now, we won't officially see it until 2.6.26 is released.
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/201037 Suspend] - the machine appears to suspend, but right at the last minute starts up again
* This turns out to be the ethernet driver failing to suspend. Removing it before suspending works fine and can be done by putting SUSPEND_MODULES="e1000" in /etc/pm/config.d/local
* Backlight control (although this is probably a recently introduced kernel bug in Hardy, which should be reverted before release)
[2008-04-28] Backlight control works fine with Hardy final release.
* WiFi LED
* [2008-04-24] Wifi LED works fine with 2.6.24 and thinkpad_acpi - fritz

Things not tested yet:
* Fingerprint scanner
** [2008-04-24] works perfectly with [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net ThinkFinger]
* USB ports (but hey, these are bound to work)
** [2008-04-24] No issues about that, works fine with flash drive and external HDD as well as HID devices
* External VGA port

How to enable the integrated fingerprint reader with ThinkFinger

2008-10-07T05:01:06Z

Norman Ramsey: don't reboot; you might just have wrong permissions

[[How to enable the fingerprint reader]] has a good explanation for using the fingerprint reader with the closed-source binary driver. But there is also an opensource project called [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net ThinkFinger] which does the same, but open.

However: The fingerprint reader is an INSECURE device and gives a false sense of security! There has been quite a bit of research by a hacker named Starbug, a member of the Chaos Computer Club, Berlin, Germany. He outlined in two very good talks how to forge each and every available fingerprint sensor available at the cost of a few euros, using materials from your local hardware store, a digicam and a laser printer! Here's some links:
* [http://www.ccc.de/updates/2007/umsonst-im-supermarkt?language=en Fingerprint recognition in supermarkets]
* [ftp://ftp.ccc.de/pub/video/Fingerabdruck_Hack/fingerabdruck.mpg?language=en Video tutorial for forging fingerprints]

== Installing ==
=== From source ===

Download thinkfinger-0.3.tar.gz from the [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/ homepage] and unpack it somewhere, make sure you have the gcc compiler, libtool, pkg-config, libusb-dev and libpam0g-dev installed, then:

{{cmduser|cd thinkfinger-0.3}}

<code style="white-space:nowrap;color:#495988;background-color:white;"><nowiki>$</nowiki> ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-securedir=/lib/security --with-birdir=/etc/pam_thinkfinger</code>

{{cmduser|make}}

{{cmdroot|make install}}

{{NOTE|/lib/security is the directory, where PAM assumes its modules on Debian and openSUSE, it may vary for your distro!}}

"make install" doesn't create the birdir we specified (where thinkfinger will store users' biometric info), so create it:

{{cmdroot|mkdir /etc/pam_thinkfinger}}

If everything went OK assert that you find pam_thinkfinger.so in /lib/security typing:

{{cmduser|ls /lib/security}}

=== From package ===

==== Debian ====
[http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/thinkfinger Packages] arrived in Debian experimental on Aug 2nd, 2007 (cf. [http://bugs.debian.org/409563 bug #409563]). To access the experimental packages via apt, add the following lines to your sources.list:
<pre>
# experimental
deb ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
</pre>
where of course you may replace mirrors.kernel.org with your mirror of choice. Just make sure that it hosts the experimental repositories.
<pre>
aptitude update
aptitude install libthinkfinger0 libpam-thinkfinger thinkfinger-tools
</pre>
should then get you up and running.

To make everything work you'll have to have permission to work the device ({{cmduser|sudo adduser myself plugdev}} worked for me), and you'll also have to follow instructions below about adding the device to your PAM methods.

==== Ubuntu ====

===== Hardy =====

Hardy includes the latest thinkfinger and it is up to date with subversion. Install packages:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger}}

Update the pam configuration files:

{{cmduser|sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable}}

Enroll your fingerprint (creates $HOME/.thinkfinger.bir). If this gives an error about claiming the USB device then a reboot was claimed to work, but in fact it may just be a permissions problem. {{NOTE|Do not try to enroll using 'sudo' - it will cause hidden permission problems}}

{{cmduser|tf-tool --acquire}}

Check fingerprint enrollment

{{cmduser|tf-tool --verify}}

You can expect everything to work correctly. Note that you still have to enter your username if prompted but will be able
to swipe your finger instead of the password. The prompt will usually be "Password or swipe finger"

* Graphical login
* Text console login
* sudo
* screen lock/screen saver
* Administrative password prompt (eg for update or package managers). (Note no "or swipe finger" in prompt).

===== Gutsy =====

From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger

Add PPA repositories to your sources.list:
<pre>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jldugger/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jldugger/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
</pre>

Install necessary packages:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger}}

==== Fedora/Fedora Core ====
*Packages for Fedora Core 6 are available in "extras" repository (# yum install thinkfinger).
*Packages for Fedora 7 are available in the "updates" repository (# yum install thinkfinger).
*Packages for Fedora 9 are available in the "updates" repository (# yum install thinkfinger).

==== Gentoo ====
<pre>
emerge sys-auth/thinkfinger
</pre>

==== OpenSUSE ====
openSUSE 10.2 includes the package "libthinkfinger" (version 0.1-7) - you will find newer packages [http://beta1.suse.com/private/thoenig/10.2/thinkfinger/ here].

== Testing the driver ==

Now the driver is installed and should be working. You can try it (as root) with

{{cmdroot|tf-tool --acquire}}

and

{{cmdroot|tf-tool --verify}}

This will ask you to swipe your finger three times, save the fingerprint to /tmp/test.bir and then verify your fingerprint with the bir-file.

== Configuring PAM to use ThinkFinger ==
Now you can configure PAM to use ThinkFinger:

Open {{path|/etc/pam.d/common-auth}} (In FC6, F7, and Gentoo, this file is {{path|/etc/pam.d/system-auth}}):

{{cmdroot|nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-auth}}

Add this line before any pam_unix or pam_unix2 directives:
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so

If your PAM uses the pam_unix and not the pam_unix2 module, you need to pass a specific argument in
the /etc/pam.d/common-auth directive to make it consider the password entered at the pam_thinkfinger prompt.
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass

For instance, {{path|/etc/pam.d/common-auth}} looks like this:
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass

On openSUSE 10.2, it looks like this now:
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth required pam_unix2.so

Now we are ready to add users to thinkfinger. You can add a fingerprint for a user with:

{{cmdroot|tf-tool --add-user $USERNAME}}

Now the user should be able to login with his finger instead of the password.

If you would like to use thinkfinger for su, you have to enroll the fingerprint for root user with:

{{cmdroot|tf-tool --add-user root}}

{{NOTE|You should see the "Password or swipe finger:" prompt when trying to sudo or su. If you don't, you probably do not have the "User level driver support" compiled into your kernel or the "uinput" module loaded!}}

== xscreensaver/gnome-screensaver ==
{{NOTE|In Fedora 7, the package has been modified in such a way as to make doing this unnecessary.}}

If you'd like to be able to unlock your screen using the fingerprint reader, you must have current versions of xscreesaver (>~5.03) or gnome-screensaver (>~2.18.2). Then you must give yourself access to the fingerprint reader and your bir-file, because unlike login/gdm/su/sudo, both gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver do not run as root. The following procedure will make the fingerprint reader accessible to members of the "fingerprint" group.

Make the group: {{cmdroot|groupadd fingerprint}}

Save the following as {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/60-thinkfinger.rules}} and run {{cmdroot|sudo /sbin/udevtrigger}} (you may need to reboot for this to take effect if udev trigger does not work):
#
# udev rules file for the thinkfinger fingerprint scanner
#
# gives access to the fingerprint reader to those in the "fingerprint" group
#
# Taken from:
# http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger
# which was taken and modified from:
# http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.thinkfinger/329
#

# SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
SYSFS{idVendor}=="0483", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2016", SYMLINK+="input/thinkfinger-%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="fingerprint"

# the also-needed uinput device
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="fingerprint"

Finally, edit {{path|/etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver}} so that it looks like this:
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so

{{NOTE|1=This problem should be solved if you're using sudo >= 1.6.9p9. Links: [http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?19132], [http://www.sudo.ws/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180], [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/86843]}}

gksu/gksudo doesn't work correctly. It just stays invisible. When starting a su privileged application such as synaptics you will not get prompted for the password. Nevertheless you can swipe your finger and it should authenticate you. Starting synaptics twice makes gksudo visible.

There are two possibilities to solve it:
* Changing the string "Password or swipe finger:" to a plain "Password:" (like sudo normally would do) in the file pam/pam_thinkfinger.c of the thinkfinger source directory. Of course, in the console you will then only see a "Password:" instead of "Password or swipe finger:" but this is still more usefull than having gksu/gksudo crashing everytime.
* Patching libgksu with the following patch. This is also a nasty hack until a better solution is implemented.

== KDE ==

Integration in KDE and kdm seems not to be easily possible now. There is a filed [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116682 bug] at kde.org where you can vote for this.

Moreover, kdm in openSUSE 10.3 crashes when pam_thinkfinger is enabled. A possible "workaround" is downgrading to thinkfinger 0.2.2.

Another workaround is to use Fprint from [http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page] which works quite nicely on my X61s and Kubuntu Hardy.

This Howto was copied from [[Installing Ubuntu 6.06 on a ThinkPad T43#Fingerprint_Reader]] and then slightly modified.

== Fix for the fingerprint reader getting too hot ==

If you notice that your fingerprint reader occasionally gets very hot then you might be interested in this section. Thanks to Tino Keitel, he actually gave me this solution through the linux-thinkpad mailing list.

First we need to determine if the reader is not on autosuspend mode.
Open a terminal and run:

for i in `find /sys/devices/*/*/usb* -name level` ; do echo -n "$i: " ; cat $i ; done

We care about the devices that are with "on" state and we need to determine if one of those is the reader. So for each of those run something like:

cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1a.0/usb1/1-2/idVendor
0483

cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1a.0/usb1/1-2/idProduct
2016

Use the corresponding path of the devices that you got with "on" state and then compare the output with the output of the lsusb command. An example:

lsusb output: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader

Which matches the output above (0483:2016). Once you have determined the path of your reader then become root with su - and:

echo "auto" > /sys/<path-to-device>/power/level

After this, the fingerprint reader should be in "autosuspend" and will not get hot anymore. And it will still work as normal.

This will only work for the current session. If you want to make this change persistent and have [http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html sysfsutils] installed, edit the file {{path|/etc/sysfs.conf}} and add the line

<path-to-device>/power/level = auto

Following the above example, that would be

devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1a.0/usb1/1-2/power/level = auto

Alternatively, you can install an init script:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/ReaderNoMoreHot

Paste the following into it:

#!/bin/bash
#
echo "auto" > /sys/<path-to-device>/power/level

Save and close. Then:

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ReaderNoMoreHot
sudo update-rc.d ReaderNoMoreHot defaults 90

Norman Ramsey: /* X300 with Debian Lenny --- a handful of failures */

I just bought one of these (model 6478-14G) and have been playing with Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 6 on it. Thus far:

Things that work:
* Graphics (including 3d and Xv). The chipset appears to be very similar to that of the X61
* trackpad and trackpoint, including scrolling
* Ethernet
* Wifi
* Bluetooth (and its enablement can be controlled via thinkpad_acpi)
* DVD drive
* Camera (although I have [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/200990 managed] to make the AVC kernel driver oops)
* [2008-4-27] You'll need gstreamer > 0.10.15 to get the camera working
* Hibernate (works properly with bios 1.02a)
* RF killswitch (turns off wifi and bluetooth devices)

Things that don't work:
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-driver/+bug/200693 Audio]:
* Latest ALSA release shows Master and PCM only in the mixer and produces no audio
* [2008-03-11] Nightly alsa-driver snapshot populates the mixer with more realistic entries, but is still silent on both speakers and headphones.
* [2008-03-14] An extremely helpful ALSA developer is making the necessary changes. An early version is able to play sound and most of the card/mixer features work.
* [2008-04-25] Patch is in git kernel now, we won't officially see it until 2.6.26 is released.
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/201037 Suspend] - the machine appears to suspend, but right at the last minute starts up again
* This turns out to be the ethernet driver failing to suspend. Removing it before suspending works fine and can be done by putting SUSPEND_MODULES="e1000" in /etc/pm/config.d/local
* Backlight control (although this is probably a recently introduced kernel bug in Hardy, which should be reverted before release)
[2008-04-28] Backlight control works fine with Hardy final release.
* WiFi LED
* [2008-04-24] Wifi LED works fine with 2.6.24 and thinkpad_acpi - fritz

Things not tested yet:
* Fingerprint scanner
** [2008-04-24] works perfectly with [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net ThinkFinger]
* USB ports (but hey, these are bound to work)
** [2008-04-24] No issues about that, works fine with flash drive and external HDD as well as HID devices

== X300 with Debian Lenny --- a handful of failures ==

Using the latest Debian Lenny kernel, I had a host of problems:
* Ethernet won't run at 1000MB/s. Attempts to force it using ethtool lock the machine
* I had the same suspend problem an earlier user supported. Adding the e1000e driver in /etc/pm as other user described fixes this.
* No control over backlight using the hotkeys, although tpb is installed and claims to be changing brightness. Interestingly, xbacklight can change brightness. Would like to get this function onto keys.
* Haven't yet figured out how to get wifi to work. I downloaded the firmware-iwlwifi package from Debian, but attempting to bring the wifi up bricked the machine with a blinking CapsLock light. Have rebooted but not yet tackled wifi again.
