I have an HP dv4 2080br with a fingerprint reader that works fine on Windows 7. lsusb lists it as 

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0005 DigitalPersona

How can I use it on Ubuntu 10.10?

There is a packaged called fprint available in this PPA However, it does not appear that your device is listed as "Supported". There is a bug Bug #285089 Which details issues with a similar USB device id though I don't believe it is related nor confirmation that this device does not work with the fprint package.
