Hi Guys, I'm in a middle of transitioning from outdated Windows 7 towards Windows 10 (in case of newer laptops) and Ubuntu (in case of X61f and M73 which works as home server).
The X61f runs very well on Ubuntu 20.04, however I cannot make my fingerprint reader work. I successfully enrolled my fingers in Settings->Users; Fingerprint Logon is enabled as well, Logon screen shows "swipe your finger" however swiping just does nothing. I checked and my hardware is on supported hardware list, so I ran out of ideas....
Any hints?
