Fingerprint in linux reader support?

Product: Pavilion DV7 (dv7 - 4087cl)

I'm going to rebuild my dv7 in the near future, passage of Win7 to Ubuntu. I was wondering if the fingerprint reader was continuing to work under Linux? The warnings I should be aware of?

All the details are greatly appreciated!

Hey delichty,

Ubuntu is not an operating system that is supported by this platform, so there is no guarantee that all features work as they do in Windows. I have seen users who have had problems getting the keys to touch, fingerprint readers and graphic drivers working properly due to lack of drivers - official, so you can be yourself.

Fortunately, Ubuntu website has a lot of information, you may be able to do some research it and see that their hardware compatibility lists to understand what will be / will not work.

  • Will not work HP TouchSmart 15-j078ca n ENVY: fingerprint - no lights reader...

    Hello

    Since the replacement of hard disk and reinstall all my fingerprint reader used to light up.

    HP TouchSmart PC ENVY 15-j078ca laptop

    Update driver,

    simplepass update software

    BIOS shows biometric not like option, thinking about this issue perhaps?

    Cannot use HP to check and update because it seems to not be able to rip off my laptop once its identified it!

    Thank you

    @BCBuddy

    The "Scan my PC" program may not work for you, no, I do not know exactly why; Suffice it to say if the program does not scan your PC to find your drivers / support page, you can perform the operation manually, that is, access your computer Support pages.

    Computer:

    HP TouchSmart PC ENVY 15-j078ca laptop

    A few ideas

    There is not a Windows 10 associates BIOS update for your laptop.  I doubt, there is nothing to change (in BIOS), except if you need get the BIOS to default because it has been changed at some point.

    In some weird cases, BIOMETRICS must be enabled in Windows 10; It is primarily a problem unless something hinky, AND you run Windows 10 Pro.  The document below covers a little of this - ignore the idea for now.

    There is not a Windows Validity Sensor 10 / fingerprints Synaptics driver.  The listed pilot is evaluated for Windows 8.1 and should suffice or Windows 10.

  • Satellite A300 - Catalyst 10.3 running Linux driver support

    Hello!

    I'm surprised why Toshiba do not support the "ATI Catalyst 10.3 for Windows 7 drivers" for laptop, but "Drivers ATI catalyst 10.3 for Linux" I can install with all sellers (also Toshiba).
    I think Toshiba marketing strategy is very bad because Windows 7 users need to use the old drivers ATI Catalyst obsolete (modified Toshiba) but Linux allows users new drivers without limits.
    If Toshiba recommends Windows 7, then do not recommend drivers ATI for Windows 7, but Toshiba does not recommend Linux but the new ATI drivers allows users without limits.

    Question: I have Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAGCE notebook with dual boot 1GN: windows 7 & Ubuntu, how does it feel my gpu, if Ubuntu I use 10.3 drivers, because with fall default Ubuntu proprietary drivers, but Windows 7 I use 8.6 modified toshiba drivers?

    Thank you!

    Hi mate

    As far as I know, Toshiba does not support the Linux OS and you will not find the Linux drivers for Toshiba laptops.
    This means that you can use and install everything on the laptop, but there is no guarantee that this operating system and drivers work correctly and does not affect the functionality of the laptop.

  • SD card reader supports only 1 GB cards satellite 2450-101

    I just bought a Kingston 2 GB SD card. Despite many efforts, I can't get my 2450-101 to format 1 GB storage on this map.
    Someone at - it of this experience and a way around it?

    I found in googel Satellite 2450-101 specifications and it seems that the card reader can manage only the SD card without support MMC. Additional not all card format SD is supported and therefore in my opinion the 2 GB format SD card is great

    I put t know if it will help you but I read somewhere in the forum about similar themes. The Toshiba SD card format utility has been updated and could format the 2 GB SD cards. I don't remember the version of this utility, but you can try to download the SD card from the Portege M400 section format utility.
    But as mentioned, I don't know if this utility works on the Satellite 2450 m.

  • T530 fingerprint - Win7 Pro Reader - does not work out of the hibernation

    Out of the hibernation of the fingerprint reader does not recognise my fingerprint at the level of the BIOS to unlock the system password and hard drive or at the level of Windows to connect on my Win 7 Pro account. Works very well on a cold start or restart. Suggestions?

    Make sure that the check box is unchecked and see if it works ok after put into hibernation. Just a guess, but it's worth it. I hope this helps.

  • Fingerprint - Envy m6 reader

    I've been using the fingerprint reader hp craving m6 it since I got my laptop.  All of a sudden it has stopped working.  How can I solve this problem?

    Patrice,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    Try this first:

    • Close all your programs and shut down your computer
    • Unplug everything (little unifying for the keyboard / mouse external can stay)
    • Perform the Hard Reset for your laptop
    • Start the computer and connect

    This type of "reset" does not affect your data, programs or settings on the computer.  It is just a reset 'own and go' to clear the cobwebs.

    Click on the thumbs-up Bravo !

    It's a nice way of saying 'Thank you' for help.

    While I strive to reflect best practices of HP, I do not work for HP.

  • How can I disable the fingerprint to signin reader?

    When I loaded the first Microsoft Windows 7, it seems to me do not give any the choice to have a password (or digital fingerprint) needed to connect.  I normally wouldn't use restrictions of access, but thought "oh what the devil?") and segt by th fingerprint scanner.  For more than a year that it worked pretty well, but in the end, either my fingerprint has changed (!) or the drive fell into a sort of disrepair.  In any case, I want my listing, as eliminate it and the password requirement.  But I can't find any way to do it.

    HELP, please!

    Disable the fingerprint reader in Device Manager.  BUT make sure first that the password works and you know what it is.  Otherwise you lock you up.

    I guess it's an HP computer, right?

  • HP Probook s 4540: fingerprint reader does not

    Hello

    Problem: fingerprint - Windows journal reader under does not have the ability to connect via the fingerprint reader.

    Overview: after installing the drivers of the fingerprint on the HP site and thanks to the HP protection tools to register successfully to fingerprints, I tried to log in via this method, but the Windows Connect screen does not display this option. Device Manager correctly identifies and shows the fingerprint sensor - however, the Control Panel does no detection of biometric devices.

    I really need help with this problem. Details of what steps I took trying to make the scanner work are given below.

    Specs:

    1) 4540 probook s

    (2) Windows 7 64 bit

    (3) i5 - 3210 m, 1 GB Hd 7650 m, 4 GB at 1333 Mhz, 750 GB 5400 RPM, VFS 491 fingerprint reader.

    Details of the problem and the steps of my work to install the drivers:

    After a new installation of Windows 7, I went on the site of HP driver to download the latest drivers for Probook s 4540:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5229457&...

    I installed the drivers in roughly in this order:

    drivers ethernet controller 1) realtek.

    drivers audio 2),

    (3) the chipset and USB 3.0 drivers (but not the Intel MEI driver)

    (4) Intel video driver: a problem such that the pilots were not allowed to install. After you disable switchable graphics in the bios, I was able to get these drivers to install.

    (5) AMD video drivers: installed after graphic driver intel HD - installed but Catalyst Control Center was not displayed. Then I reactivated switchable graphics in the BIOS, re-installed these drivers and CCC was now available.

    (6) support for HP keyboard shortcut

    (7) HP Universal camera driver

    (8) fingerprint sensor fingerprint validity

    (9) Synaptics Touchpad driver

    (10) Atheros wifi & bluetooth

    (11) Jmicron card reader

    After driver installation, I installed the HP protection tools. According to request a reboot of the PC, which I did-, he asked for the setting up security etc... Part of this pocess was the registration of fingerprints - successful. However, log off / restart of windows, an option to connect with the fingerprint reader does not appear in the Windows login screen.

    I open the control panel and found there wasn't that no biometric device only tab, even if the Device Manager showed biometric sensor, device and validity (VFS 491). I then uninstall HP protect tools and driver validity sensor fingerprint, and made sure that these services are running:

    -Credential Manager

    -Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

    DCOM Server process Launcher-

    RPC end point mapper-

    -Windows Biometric Service

    Plug-and-Play

    Then as suggested in another post on the forum, I installed first of all this:http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe , then the drivers of the validity of 4540 s drivers page, then HP protection tools.

    After the reboot HP protect tools as before to register my fingerprints, but still no windows login prompt came to connect with fingerprints. However, a change after installtion of http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe that has been in Control Panel it is now a tab for biometric devices. However, it is said that windows did not find it all installed biometric devices. A picture is attached showing the Device Manager and Control Panel!

    Please HP offer a solution. Thank you!

    OK problem solved. I don't know if it is related to the HP windows 7 system essential updates driver installation and Intel MEI or not - but I install these.

    What has really worked probably was it - > install the drivers of fingerprint and then the HP protection tools. Once rebooted, open HP tools protect, then return to the administration in the lower right corner-> the administration Console-> increase of security system-> tick windows login security and your done. Now, you will be able to connect through fingerprints registered.

  • Where to get the authentec fingerprint drivers for various computers laptops hp that supports the functionality of the biometric device in windows 7?

    Hello

    We build a Windows 7 SOE for a large company that takes care of many models of computers laptops hp. Each of these laptops comes with a fingerprint reader, and we would like to use the built in support of fingerprint (biometric devices) reader that is running windows 7. The models that we support are as follows:

    • HP 6910P
    • HP 6930p
    • HP 8510w
    • HP 8530w

    We tried using the drivers of fingerprint Authentec (aes2501a) on the hp website, but after the installation, the biometric device option is not in windows 7. We contacted HP about this and they said that we must use the driver coming from windows update before this option appears. After installing the driver from windows update, the option of the biometric device seemed that hp said. Therefore, because of the way that our SOE is built, we demand that the executable that is identical to that on windows update. Anyone know where we can find packages both x 64 and x 86 for this device driver, which are the same as those found when you go to update windows on these machines running windows 7? Let me know if you need any clarification.

    Thank you

    Hi Mustapha ETS.

    Step 1: Locate the stand-alone file by inserting the device model number
    a. visit http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
    in the search box, enter the model number of the perimeter search of the driver.
    c. download the right driver for your windows and install it successfully on all computers.

    Note: If there is no available stand-alone file, I'm afraid you'll have to visit update of Windows on all computers and the installation of the update done or contact the device manufacturer to obtain the driver.
