Cannot Detect Fingerprint Sensor on Ubuntu 12.04
I installed software to use fingerprint login, but when I run it, It doesn't show it.
My computer is the Lenovo B570 Laptop.
It worked on the windows 7 the computer came with, but it crashed.

Can you please put command outputs in code tags? It makes them easier to read.
