I'd like to know if anyone out there has a Lenovo laptop with the fingerprint reader. I was wondering if the reader works on ubuntu?

There's no "the fingerprint reader". There are various models which need different ways to enable them. That said, please include the output of following command (open a gnome-terminal and run it) in your question: lsusb. – htorque Apr 21 '11 at 20:15

Scratch my last answer... I managed to get this working with the following PPA in 10.10:

Launchpad fingerprint-gui

Just follow the directions, but before you log out, open up the finterprint-gui to see what brand device you have so you know if you'll need the proprietary libraries or not.
