Finger Print scanner


i have hp pavilion dv6 3049tx, recently i have installed linux based operating system on it. But I am unable to use my finger print scanner to manage my passwords. I looked for drivers on it, but the whole search was in vain. Could somebody help me ?

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

You have not provided enough information for us to help. What information can you provide for the biometric scanner? Distribution? Kernel?

FYI: I suggest that you look at 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' so in the future your queries provide information that will aid us in diagnosis of the problem or query.

A DuckDuckGo search provided: fingerprint biometric scanner + linux
