I have Lenovo R61i and Debian 4.0 (sid). I have done all what was in this article, but when I do:<br /> <br /> pokorski@debian:~$ sudo tf-tool --acquire<br /> <br /> the terminal is writing:<br /> <br /> ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)<br /> Copyright (C) 2006, 2007 Timo Hoenig &lt;thoenig@suse.de&gt;<br /> <br /> Initializing...USB device not found.<br /> <br /> I read manuals and howtos but I can't install it on my R61i. On M$ Windows biometric reader worked correctly. Can anybody help me? Sorry for my English (I'm Polish)<br /> <br /> - Hi, I have the same notebook, runnning ubuntu 8.04, and it seems this device isn't supported by thinkfinger, what worked for me is libfprint, the newest version. <br /> regards</div>
