Lenovo/IBM TP T60 + fingerprint reader

I installed thinkfinger-package, but for some reason it wont save the fingerprint:
[oilgame@oilgame-laptop rc.d]$ sudo tf-tool --add-user oilgame

Please swipe your finger (successful swipes 3/3, failed swipes: 3)... done.
Storing data (/etc/pam_thinkfinger/oilgame.bir)...Could not acquire fingerprint (communication with fingerprint reader failed).

I didn't do anything, but tf-tool started working
I have now a new problem with this, after modifying those files in n0dix's link I get "Login incorrect", when I login. It won't even give me space to type my password.
"sudo tf-tool --verify-user oilgame/root" Works fine..

T60 Fingerprint Reader

I recently began having a problem with my T60 fingerprint reader. It started saying to reconnect the fingerprint reader. I removed the memory panel just below the keyboard to investigate and found that the tiny white plastic clip that holds the ribbon-cable in contact with the reader was broken. One of the barbs had broken off and it was no longer making contact unless I put an unreasonable amount of pressure on the top of the reader.
My question is, what is this part called and how can I replace it?
I have looked around the Internet and through various Electronics/Technology stores with no luck.
Thank you in advance.

a3gill, welcome to the forum,
you are probably better replacing the complete Palm Rest.
You will be able to find the correct FRU (part) number for your model in the Hardware Maintainance Manual. You should be able to order it direct from IBM or another source such as Fleabay.

How to get fingerprint reader to work with passwords on web pages?

I just got my x61 with fingerprint reader. I have enrolled my fingerprints and am able to use the fingerprint reader to logon to the system. I would also like to use the reader to bypass password entry on webpages I use frequently, like email. I think this is a possible function of the fingerprint reader (as is implied in the Lenovo video about the fingerprint reader), but I cannot find any information on how to do this. Can anyone help?

You can use password manger,It's a part of CSS.

Fingerprint reader on Lenovo KUF0452 keyboard not working with Lenovo X240

Hi,
I have a Lenovo KUF0452 keyboard with built-in fingerprint reader. Up until a month ago I had a Lenovo X220 laptop which co-existed happily with the keyboard - I could unlock Windows with a swipe of the keyboard's fingerprint reader.
I've now replaced the X220 with an X240 and can no longer unlock Windows using the keyboard's fingerprint reader - I just get this error on the Windows lock screen:
A match for the fingerprint was not found in the fingerprint database.
I have Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro v8.01.35(x64) installed and have used it to enroll a couple of fingerprints for the X240's fingerprint scanner, but when I try to use it to enroll fingerprints for the keyboard's scanner the app's progress bar doesn't move off 0%, so I assume the app isn't accepting the keyboard's fingerprint scanner as a valid input.
The X240 is docked, with the lid shut, so I have no easy access to the laptop's fingerprint scanner which is why I want to use the keyboard's fingerprint scanner to unlock Windows.
How can I get the keyboard's fingerprint scanner to work with my X240?
Kind regards,
/Neil

hi jenniby,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I believe it is the Lenovo B570 you're saying,
Try doing a power drain,
Remove AC adapter and Battery, then hold down the power button for at least 15 sec. this will drain off the power from the MOBO.
Reconnect everything and see if that works,
Also try using an external Keyboard to test out the Windows.
If that did not work I suggest Calling Lenovo Technical support for Hardware Concern.
Regards
Solid Cruver

Lenovo T510 (4313CTO) fingerprint reader not working at first login

I have a Lenovo T510 (4313CTO) system that until recently worked just perfectly. After I know not what - I have checked the Windows Update log, etc. - now, when booting, when the system reaches the Windows logon screen, the usual 'Please wait' message is displayed, but after maybe 30s of that, it reads 'No attempt to start this service has been made since the last boot'.
This error only occurs on a fresh boot. When logging out and in again, it works correctly. I use the SSO function, so one finger swipe unlocks the hard drive and should log into Windows. The first BIOS swipe works fine, i.e. it cannot be a hard ware problem.
After a little research, I reckon this 'service' that is not starting is upeksvr.exe, given pg. 66 of this Lenovo CSS document. The particular error message I believe is a Windows system error, no. 1077 given this MSDN article.
After removing all of the Lenovo Fingerprint software and all fingerprint data, upgrading FPRS, downgrading, and having trawled the net for solutions to no avail, I have not had any success. A call to Lenovo yielded no help either (no surprise there...) I would really appreciate any help you can offer, to save me from having to reinstall the system!

I had a similar problem, the first time I occurred after a Windows Update. This time I formatted and made a fresh Windows 7 installation.
The next time the same happened again after I updated the system using the "Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update".
When I tried to open the Fingerprint software directly the following message appeared “The dependency service or group failed to start" and the Error Code E7210001 appeared in details.
This time I discovered in another forum while searching for another problem ( "Devices and Printers" did not load) that the problem was due to one of the services was disabled, the Credential Manager service.
To correct this just type in Start the following: services.exe
Look for the service: Credential Manager
In properties the Startup type should be set to "Automatic"
Press Ok and the next time you restart the computer the Fingerprint reader should work.
Hope this solves your problem.

Fingerprint Reader on Lenovo Thinkpad x220

Hey guys, I'm having a few problems installing the fingerprint reader on Arch Linux. I have the 147e:2016 UPEK fingerprint reader according to lsusb. As far as I know, libfprint-UNSTABLE supports that, but I think it causes a few problems too. Sometimes fingerprint-gui crashes from "Segmentation Fault" and I tried adding it to the PAM sudo file, but whenever I run sudo something, it doesn't ask for a finger swipe. The green light also does not turn on. So, I tried manually running /lib/security/pam_fingerprint-gui.so and it returned "Segmentation Fault." I followed the fingerprint-gui on the Fprint page on the Arch wiki, but didn't work. So then I tried the fprint method, but all the packages they listed to install (Excluding PAM) were not found. I googled the package names (libfprint and pam_fprint) and it returned results from the arch package place, but when I clicked on them, it said the packages weren't found. Any ideas on where I could go from here?
Last edited by kkeller (2011-07-03 20:51:02)

Just a FYI. I did some poking around on this and found something interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along.
Disclaimer: I have NOT tried this, and don't even own the fingerprint reader in question.
Anyway, here's the trail I followed...
The ThinkWiki page here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Integrate … int_reader
points to patches from a year ago in this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504399
So I downloaded the libfprint-0.4.0-1.fc15 and fprintd-0.4.1-1.fc15 Fedora 15 source RPM packages by drilling down from here:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates … b1ec4e90dc
Then I exploded the RPMs and looked at the "spec" files... and here's where it got interesting.
Fedora seems to be getting the source code for both libfprint and fprintd from here:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hadess/
and not from the "official" code repository like the Arch AUR packages do.
So... you may want to give that code a try... or not

Hi and welcome to the forum!
As per support page your model doesn't come with Fingerprint reader, it's not usually the case, some come with it and some don't, check with tabook to see that do:- http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf

What can be done with the fingerprint reader?

I am trying to figure out simply what I can do with the fingerprint reader on the T400. I understand how to use it to log into the computer. My main question is whether or not I can use the fingerprint reader in the following contexts, and if so how.
1a) To log into internet password protected websites. When I use IE, the password manager pops up and prompts me to save a password. If I save it, I can return to that website and it automatically will enter the login information and password for me. I want to know whether you can have password manager (or another program) prompt the user for the fingerprint and then submit the login information. That way the information is protected each time I log in, but I do not need to enter log in information each time, only a fingerprint.
1b) If this is possible in IE8, I would like to know if it is possible in Firefox 3, in which password manager does not pop up.
2) Can it be used to log into MS Outlook.
3) Can it be used to lock documents in MS Word.
I much appreciate any information letting me know if these can be done, and if so, how to do them. Thank you very much for your help!

Message Edited by lenova on 09-07-2008 09:13 PM

After playing with it for a while I figured out at least questions 1a) and 1b). For anyone else who has the same questions:
1a) Have your browser save the password using Lenovo's Password Manager. Then open password manager and open that item. Click the advanced tab and change the security level to custom. Click "Customize Security Policy" and select "Protect with a Fingerprint."
1b) Lenovo has a patch to synch Password Manager with firefox 3. It can be found here and is much easier than the manual fixes found on this forum.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70132
I am still looking for help with 3) and 4), particurally 3). Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you very much!!

Under Windows 7 - Fingerprint Reader Ignored After Standby Resume

I thought this was perhaps a platform-specific issue. But both on my ThinkPad T61 running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and my new ThinkPad T510 running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, whenever I resume from standby, any finger swipe against the fingerprint reader is ignored.
Note - I am not using the rather large Lenovo fingerprint driver package because I don't want the bloat. Just want a very basic, Ctrl+Alt+Delete password prompt replacement.
Does the "Registry patch to change IDLE IRP timing by Fingerprint reader driver for Windows Vista" need to be installed under Windows 7 (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)?

i didn't know the lenovo fingerprint driver package was more than just a very basic, Ctrl+Alt+Delete password prompt replacement? (at least not that i noticed)

LENOVO 1951FDG ThinkPad T60 XP SP3 system eventlog locket out laptop slow.

LENOVO 1951FDG ThinkPad T60 XP SP3 system eventlog locket out laptop slow.
We had this on three laptop T60 the laptop is slow. If you look in the event log the system event log has a no entry sign and you cannot see any event in the system log. What we normal do is clear the log down. Then restart the laptop it will be OK for some time before the system log become locket out again. Is this a known problem with the T60?

Hi JJtassey,
Welcome to the forum!
You can halt the BSOD by going through following:-
'Right Click on My Computer - > Properties - > Advanced System settings - > Under start up recovery settings - > uncheck automaically restart - > OK'.
Thereafter you can read the blue screen and through error message track down the problem. I also suggest running complete PC Doctor's or lenovo thinkvantage toolbox test on your system:-
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-73783.html
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-56222.html
As for reinstalling Windows, you can do so by restoring your thinkpad to factory settings from recovery partition. Press thinkvantage boot when thinkpad logo comes up on boot and choose restore to factory settings from the list of options. You might want to save your data some where in advance as it will be deleted in the process.
If you want to install your own Windows then you would need to set SATA AHCI to Compatibility mode in the BIOS for the hard drive, your drive will then be seen by windows disc since it does not have sata ahci driver.
Hope it helps.

Possible to upgrade to a fingerprint reader? (X220)

Hello.
I'm getting a ThinkPad X220 soon, and I was wondering if I upgrade to a fingerprint reader. The one I will recieve comes with the stock palmrest, so if I bought a palmrest with the fingerprint reader, would it work with the correct drivers?

Disabling T61 Fingerprint Reader

I need to disable the fingerprint reader. In the environment these T61s are in, it can not be disabled from the software level. That would be too easy to enable it. Is there a way to disable it from the BIOS level?? Disabling from BIOS level would be great, since we already use a password to get into that.
I know I can disable it from the inside cable, but going through and opening up 300 laptops would be too time consuming.

Did you say "KIDS"? You didn't mention that in your first post. The solution I gave you in the earlier post normally resolves the issue. But if your dealing with kids, setting a Supervisior password at BIOS level might be ideal, that is if your company wants to do that. Just don't ever lose that password or let if fall in the wrong hands (Lenovo will NOT help recover BIOS passwords).
Removing that inside cable is sounding mighty good right now. I know it's a painful process, but that might be the best solution of all.

Ubuntu 13.10 on a T440 - Wifi, Sound, Fingerprint reader and TrackPoint issues

I recently got my t440 and put Ubuntu 13.10 on it and have had a few problems pop up. Hopefully someone here can help, or I will find solutions and post here as things get working again.
Wifi - I have a Thinkpad 11b/g/n 2x2 wireless card. I do not believe there are currently Linux drivers provided for this card. According to thinkwiki, the 1x2 version of the card works with real tek's rtl8192se driver; I have tried to load it with modprobe, but it does not work for this card. There might be a solution to this with ndiswrapper, but I haven't been successful. I have ordered an intel wireless card to replace this one.

Fingerprint reader - All previous thinkpads had AuthenTec fingerprint readers; this generation ships with Validity readers. Info on thinkwiki is describes installing fprint, but fprint does not recognize the validity reader. This post looks promising.

TrackPoint - The trackpoint pointer works fine, but lenovo did away with the physical left/middle/right click buttons. The top on the touchpad can be pressed (in windows) for left/middle/right click, but I haven't gotten this functionality enabled in Ubuntu yet. Might be able to fix this in the xorg.conf file
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Synaptics_TouchPad_driver_for_X

Fingerprint reader- above links do not resolve the problem. fprintd and frprint-demo do not recognize the Validity fingerprint sensor. My issues are the same as described in this post.
